Not sure what to say?

I just learned of her passing- my condolences to her siblings

We are so very sad for this news Lori and Jim. But we know that she is no longer suffering and has passed gloriously into the arms of her Savior! You are all in our prayers. Love you so much Goldsmith family.

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.

Condolences to the family for the loss of a sweet and beautiful soul. May the thoughts of her being wholly restored ease your sorrow at this time. I will always cherish my childhood memories with her.

So sad you have left this earthly home but so happy you are whole again. Rest easy dear "Buffy". Heaven really did gain another angel!! ❤

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...

I have many happy memories of Buffy, she babysat for me and my brother. She was always so much fun. Prayers for her family.

Prayers first of all to all the family so sorry to hear this.So many memories and little things to remember with buffy.In school we did some pretty silly stuff messing with teachers. Rest in peace Buffy you were always a good friend.
