We are sad at the loss of such a great person in the Harman Ward. Beth had such a positive attitude and always a smile on her face. It was kind of catching when she was around. If we could all follow her example, the world would be a paradise. Thanks for sharing her with us and giving us the chance to feel of her warmth and special spirit. Love James and Elayne Stewart

I was so sorry to hear about Beth's passing. We sat next to each other while singing with the Choral Arts Society of Utah. She was always so cheerful and upbeat.

It was such a great pleasure to get to know Beth. I have fond memories of taking her to Choral Arts Society of Utah practices and concerts. She was a friend that was more like family. April really missed seeing her.

We surely loved Beth, she was such an influence for good in our lives. We lived in Payson a few years and while there, we shared in some wonderful meals and visits--her cheery smile and disposition, made us want to me a little more sweet. We also share in the grand family tree of the Call clan
Bryan's dad is J harold call of Heber and we enjoyed her telling us various stories--about our history. It is so amazaing that she was the daughter of such goodly parents-what an opportunity
we express our genuine sympathy and love and know that she is enjoying a great reunion. may you find peace and comfort through the Holy Ghost. May knowing that she lived such a exempliary life--bring peace too.
Bryan and Lynda Call
