Our dear precious Beth: How do we thank someone who has given us so much love??? Who
has taught us how to be better people? How to forgive? How to enjoy each and every moment?
How to laugh at ourselves? How to be grateful for all of the little things in life? You showed the
world how to live a beautiful life filled with kindness, generosity and humor. You were a mini,
“Mother Teresa”! You would give your last dollar to someone in need. Your strength in taking on
brain surgery, spinal fusion, the loss of those you adored and the monster cancer was beyond
what any human could bear! Yet, you did it without complaining and you told us that you were
glad that it happened to you and and not us when we would have given anything to change
places with you!! !You are the perfect child, sister, granddaughter, aunt, godmother, niece,
cousin and friend all who were lucky enough to know you! Your love will live on in all of us and
we will always live your lifelong message of , “Be The Happiest”, we will try but it will be so
painful without you! You are our life, our precious Beth, our angel but most importantly our
HERO who put us first in everything you did! Your beloved niece, Ryan, is already showing
signs of being your mini-me! You taught her so much about acceptance and love for everybody.
We are so sorry, our gorgeous girl, for not being able to save you from this monster!!! We will
spend our lives making it up to you!! We will see you soon, our baby, and that hug will be the
best that we’ve ever experienced!!! With immeasurable love and devotion, Dad, Mom, Brian,
Ryan and Gromit
