Brad and Girls
You had an amazing wife and mother and I had an amazing friend. Sitting next to her for years she not only became my friend and co-worker but she became my savior in more ways than one. She spoke so lovingly and passionatly about each of you. You were her world and she lived to share it with you. She was the queen of coupon collection and loved a bargain. She faithfully shared coupons with all of us every week. She loved her community and served it in more ways than I can count.
May God be with each of you during this difficult time. She loved our God and believed he has a master plan for all of us.
She was loved more than words could every express and she will be missed by all. She is in heaven now looking over each of us. Rest now my friend until we meet again.
You will be in my heart and in my prayers.
I love you all! Please know I am here for you and will be pleased to assist you in any way possible.

Beth will always be loved and missed by all that knew her. She was a true friend that was forever assisting others with their daily struggles in life. Always thinking of everyone else and so often putting them before her own needs. Beth loved and was extremely dedicated to her family and friends. She can never be replaced but will never be forgotten. I cannot express the value of her friendship over the years and feel blessed to have worked with Beth for as long a I did. Love you and will miss you forever.
