Not sure what to say?

I would like to know if Beth finished writing the Richwine family history. I would like to know if I can get a copy of the book. My grandmother was Grace Richwine Bristow Plogger.

Beth was my student in objects conservation. She was a wonderful person and babysat for my little girls. She made them two beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs. They managed to break them and were so upset that I put them back together again! I loved having her as a student and then as a colleague. She will be so missed. I last saw her at a conference in Scotland. She was buying beer for her husband Randy!

I am sorry to hear that Beth has recently passed away. She was a wonderful colleague and friend. I have fond memories of working with her at NMAH in the 1980's when we were both starting our careers in Object Conservation. My condolences to her family on the loss of this wonderful woman.

My belated expressions of sorrow and sympathy to Beth's family and friends. I just learned about Beth's passing and it took my breath away. Although it's been many years since I last saw Beth, I fondly remember her from NMAH and shared experiences with mutual friends. She touched many lives, mine among them, and will be greatly missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Beths passing. We were friends when we were both in the C.A.R. And DAR in Yorktown. She was a gifted artist. As a teen she designed and helped start plantings in the herb garden at the Custom House. She even participated in our wedding. I will always regret we lost touch when she moved away. My sympathies to her husband, her Mom, Amy and David.

Beth was a year ahead of me in the Conservation training program in Cooperstown. Beth was consistently an encouragement to those around her. She was always sweetly generous, giving of her time and ideas.

To the family please accept my condolences. I am the daughter of Rosia Lee Murray. I vividly remember Beth at a young age. To the family stay encouraged.

dear randy, i am so sorry to hear about Beth. I know you enjoyed doing so many things together as real soul mates. what a devastating loss. I'm sure nothing anyone can say or do right now will make things any easier--i hope you are surrounded by love.

Friend and teacher of preservation, conservation and those great DC Mall walks sharing family issues, Beth was all of those and so much more.
