To Rick, Megan and the family, I will always remember Beth for going out of her way to say "hi" to me at church. She was a warrior and is now home with her Lord...and that's a wonderful place to be. My prayers and love to the family.
See you in the kingdom someday, Beth.

Rick and Megan,
I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time.
Those around you care deeply and many prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
There is so little one can say to bring you comfort, but know I understand and care.
May all your precious memories of happy times bring you comfort and peace during the coming days just knowing she is at peace. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
A memory is our way of holding onto things we love, the things you are,
and the things you never want to lose.
With Deepest Sympathy, Marilyn Meadows

Rick and Megan,
It's hard to understand why our loved ones are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well-lived life. Memories are the legacy of love. Beth was always a breathe of fresh air during the many years we worked at the Hoover Company. She always had a kind word to say.
