Beth....one of the nicest people I have ever met. I very recently spent a few minutes with her, by freak chance, at a college swim meet and was reminded of how much I enjoyed her during our NVSL days and what a genuinely kind woman she was.

Mrs Bryan was my Kindergarten teacher. Everyday she would smile and say "good morning" to me. I will miss her.

Our beautiful, sweet Beth...
She seemed to have everything she wanted from life--her wonderful husband, handsome boys, cherished friends. I'm so blessed to have known her, and I will carry her memory (and lesson) with me throughout my life. God Bless you Mike, Andrew, Stephen and William--she was one in a million.

I first met Beth when our sons Stephen and John were racing against each other in the NVSL All Stars. We stood together cheering for the boys as they duked it out to the end. We just two short months ago were standing together cheering at the High School District Championships as my son duked it out in the 200 Free. Beth was a wonderful woman
who always had a kind word to say. I shall miss my cheering buddy and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. God Bless you all.

I will always remember Beth's smiling face whenever I saw her at school. We had many discussions and shared "notes" with each other about the joys of raising teenagers! We had many laughs! She was a loving and caring person and a super mom. I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Beth was a woman of many talents-compassionate teacher, encouraging coach, caring wife and mother, good friend, and a faith filled woman. My prayers go out to Mike, Andrew, Stephen, William and all of you who were Beth's friends.

Beth was fun and full of energy. My best memories of Beth are when she would come down to pick up the kids and dance to the music playing in the gym and her love of Field Day. My prayers are with your family.

I am not sure any of us will ever be able to jump in a pool without thinking of our dear friend Beth. She made a splash both in the pool as well as out of the pool with her enthusiastic and fun loving personality.
Beth had a way with making each and everyone person she came near feel special.
I want to thank the Bryan family for sharing Beth with all of us. It is from her that I have learned that family and friends are what really matters in life.
I will never forget my very special friend.
Love and Blessing,

Beth was a wonderful person. She was always full of joy and had a big smile on her face. I will always hear her say, "Hi girlfriend!", which was followed by a big hug. She gave help and encouragement to all. Beth was a loving mother and wife; she loved her boys and her husband so very much. I will miss her so, but I will carry her enthusiasm and her smile with me always.

We are so sorry to hear about Beth - we kept her in our prayers over these last difficult months and will continue to keep her family in our prayers. Our neighborhood and OHSC have lost a valuable friend.
May her memory be eternal.
