Beth was an amazing person Tim and I will always be grateful for her taking care of Natalie. Her care and dedication to helping Natalie with her education at Alconbury was outstanding; Natalie always loved her lessons and to be able to see her daily. Even take extra during the summer months to extend Natalie’s education. Prayers for her family to get through this difficult time.

What a beautiful picture of her, this is how I remember her growing up. Always smiling, laughing, and making others laugh. Growing up in a small community really had its advantages, one being knowing all the kids you were growing up with. I am so sorry to have missed the services, was not aware until it was too late to get there. My condolences to all her family, Lori, I wish I could give you a hug right now. Rest in peace Buffy.

My deepest condolences for Mr. Kretz, Andy, Ben, Whitney, and Natalie. Mrs. Kretz was always so gentle and kind—someone whose warmth stayed with you long after you left her presence. I still remember the very first time I came to the Kretz house at RAF Alconbury. She immediately showed me to her Pop Rocks drawer and said, “Help yourself,” which I absolutely did, like any six-year-old would. I remember her Coca-Cola chairs and the first time she introduced me to Goosebumps. She made everything...
