I remember Beth coming with RC and Sandy to our Coffee House's at New Hope. I actually have some video of her as she was walking to her seat. (I was filimg someone singing) I could see that she enjoyed listening to the music and I thought it was great that she was getting out and about. I didn't know at the time that she had cancer, she seemed very positive and content. I wish I had had a chance to know her more but enjoyed the few times we were able to get together with the group.

Beth always wore a smile, and she was funny, too! At our Bible study, which she always attended, she got involved with one of our sessions when we played "charades" with some Proverbs. On another occasion, I brought some chocolate-covered candy to the Bible study's "pot-luck" snacks, and she temporarily grabbed them and said something like, "I'll take these" just to give us all a laugh!

Beth was much like her brother. She made Fun out of Work. "Brother"

Beth was a great sister-in-law, a gracious hostess and a loving friend.
