My dearest sweet Bethy. Our friendship was a long one where we walked through many trials and tribulations, as well as great happiness. I will forever miss our Wednesday night cheesesteaks and cheese fries from Vito's...even the night you called my frumpy. Your friendship was one I always knew I could depend on. I will miss most your guidance in being a mother. You taught me so many lessons and I was always grateful I had your experience to tap into...raising one of the greatest young men I know. I will be calling Talon in the future to ask him "what would your mom do?" Rest easy dear Beth. Thank you for being my friend these past 20 years. You will forever be missed.

I'm still saddened but at peace knowing you are finally at peace. I don't need to write about our memories because they will live in my heart forever, although I do need to express how bad I feel that I let your bookshelf fall on you in the 6th grade and I laughed at you, and i'm sorry :) To Mike, Talon, and the Baschoff clan, I love you guys and i'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Till we meet again Bethy!

I met Beth when our boys played football together when they were about 5. We were both younger single mothers and felt connected because of that. Beth was always a vibrant, beautiful, energetic woman with me, I cannot fathom the internal struggle she must have been dealing with that lead her to this end. My thoughts are with you Talon. I know unequivocally how much she loved you. I only know you today through her eyes and I know that she was proud of you at 5 and she was proud of you today. I feel the pain of Beth's passing acutely so I can only imagine the pain you feel and my heart breaks in that imagining. I am praying that you find peace and happiness and strength. The world will miss Beth's shining light.
