It is with sorrow to learn of the passing of Beth. My sympathies to all who loved her. She was a beautiful person who lived her life with strength and courage. Before going home, may I suggest a song of celebration, such as “Tomorrow” from “Annie”. Thank you, Joe Klamar, CSU classmate, BME 1974

Sending heartfelt sympathy in the loss of a wonderful friend. I was so sad when they decided to move from their home on White Road and I always looked forward to her Christmas cards telling me about the joys of her life--her family. She was so proud of her children and I could always tell how much she loved them. Rest in peace Beth.

Dearest Pat and family: I remember Beth from high school. I was fortunate enough to have had her as my "Big Sister" in gym leaders and HEOGA. She was such a sweet soul and I was so lucky to have known her. May your memories and the love of family and friends bring you all peace now and in the weeks ahead. Sincere Sympathy.

I am so sorry for the loss of Beth. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times for a family to go through. I hope you can find comfort in the wonderful promise of the resurrection. At Acts 24:15 we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true?
