She is the last of her generation of siblings, and with that, we face a great loss. At the same time, she leaves a family with the same traits of kindness and caring, with a strong determination. In this regard, with those traits in your mind and in your heart, you have the Beatty in you, you carry on with a new generation of Beatty. The Torch has been passed to the next generation. Let the torch light continue to shine as kind and caring as ever, as strong as ever, as determined as ever.
