UNCLE MARK’S TRIBUTE TO BETH

Some of us wake up every morning and kiss our Husband or Wife to start a new precious day. Some have other family members they kiss and hug and send all the little ones on their way. Some greet the new day alone, maybe their family has passed on or maybe they are away at school or starting their life on their own, to experience new adventures and make a life of their own. Whatever the case, no one ever thinks they will not see tomorrow’s new day and not be with family and friends. Beth did the same getting up and going after her goals not thinking twice that she would not see her family and friends again. As that’s what we all see it as, but in reality she see’s everyone now all at once, for she is an Angel in Heaven watching over all that she has known and seen. For now she is a Guardian Angel that will watch over everyone she has ever come in contact with. For she was a shinning star on earth and she is an even brighter star above us all, touching all. Beth we love you and will never forget, your presents will always be with us.

Beth, your time here on Earth was short but never under estimate the number of lives you have touched. You made a difference.

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt wishes go out to your friends and family.

To the Kobeszka family, friends of Beth and Triple X teammates,
My deepest sympathies in your time of sorrow. Keep close to you those whom you hold dear, as well as those Beth held dear and in that temporary community bound by loss I hope that you can find comfort in this time of grief.

I heard about Beth's accident and was so saddened by news of her passing. I was Beth's kindergarten teacher at OLG many years ago. I have often thought of her great smile and intelligence and maturity beyond her years. May God be with you in your time of need. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Beth was quite the racer and it was always a pleasure to have her and the xxx team at the bike races. Like XXX, she displayed such class and excellence in all facets of racing and life. We will miss you and your persona...Dan Daly.
