ELIZABETH M. GALLUP

Almost ten years since we lost Bethie. Sometimes it seems like two, others like twenty. The passage of time has lessened the sharp edge of the loss... but I'll never stop missing her.

I first met Beth when she was training for tri-athlons at Ayersville HS pool. We always raced while swimming laps. Later, I was her patient and she was the one who figured out what was going on with me that no one else could or would bother to find out. I owe her a debt of gratitude.

I am sorry for her loss.

Hello Gallup Family: it has taken me all these years to write this because I personally was heartbroken when I heard..... I just want her loved ones to know that she took care of my mother for over 4 years via hospice so we became friends. I remember one time she came to my house to check on my mom late one evening and I found out she hadnt eaten so I heated her up some Mac & Cheese and she asked for Ketchup !! Me and my mom laughed and laughed over the ketchup :-) Another funny memory...

Still, still, still working through the bigger-than-life hole left behind. Or maybe "finally" would be more accurate. In either case, I miss you and love you and am consumed by thoughts of you today.

The Gallup family lived on Route 111 and I lived about a mile away when I was a teen and Beth was a "tween". There was a boat ramp just across the street from their house where many of us "country kids" hung out. I happened to be there the night Beth's dad died and for some reason, even though Beth and I never talked about it, that seemed to create a bond of some sort. Defiance was a small town, so our lives wove in and out, over and under, back and forth in a lovely dance...always punctuated...

I am comforted to see that others are thinking of Bethie-san (my nickname for my sister). Thank you for sharing your hearts. Today was our mom's birthday; Beth's is just around the corner. So much love, joy, sadness, hopeful peace ....

This individual is so missed by me. We talked about many things including music.

I still think of Dr. Gallup all the time. Especially in the Research business.
She still makes me laugh! Miss you lots Dr.G but some how think you are still with me in spirit.

I miss her in so many ways her Witt . As a friend a co worker and most of all a great Dr
