Mike and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure Beth is singing and dancing in heaven.

July 23, 2011

Ms Beth was a joy to know! We will always remember her uplifting and energetic personality. She has certainly made a lifelong impact on our daughters. They will never forget the wonderful songs and musical foundation she taught to them. I can't count how many car rides home from school have been filled with two happy girls singing in the back seat!

We were so honored that Beth could continue to share her warm heart and loving ways this past year.

Our thoughts are with the Gibson Family.

Dear Gibson Family,
I was so saddened to hear about Ms Beth's passing. Our family, and the whole Southdale school, have been keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
She brought such joy and enthusiasm to our school each day she was there. The songs that she taught the students are echoed throughout the school on a daily basis. She will be missed dearly.
I love the photo that you choose to post- that is how I will remember her; with a radiant glow and smile.

Wishing you peace and comfort,

Rachel, Paul, Madeleine and Wills Hagenson

God's peace and love surround your family as you celebrate her life and her entry into heaven to be with her mother Pat. I remember Beth from high school at OLP, she shared her voice by starring in many musicals and soloing in the chorus. She was always bubbly and her happiness and love of music was contagious.

I worked with Ms. Beth for 13 years, she was always pumped with energy to sing,dance & play the piano. She would go in her bag where all her tapes were & get all the kids moving & laughing. She taught my son who is almost 16 the love of singing he is in high school choir. She touched myself & many we are so blessed to have known her. Thank you for sharing her. She was always asking about my son & tell me about her family the grandchildren,weddings & reunions.

July 21, 2011

I knew Beth for 18 years. She was my dearest friend. I will miss her
telephone calls, her voice, her laughter, and the latest update on her family. My memories of going shopping with her, going out to breakfast or lunch, or dinner or taking walks together instills a sense of gratitude that I had that time with her. I will miss her dearly. She touched my life as no other.

Ms. Beth was a beautiful person and touched the lives of so many young people, including my children. She was a joy to be around and you could just feel that she loved her work. That love will live on in the children she sang with and played for all those years.

Words cannot describe what a great person "Ms Beth" truly was.I was lucky to work with her for the past six years.. She was a fabulous music teacher, and was one of the kindest people i have ever met. I sang some of her songs with the kids today and instanly teared up! I would just like to thank her one last time for everything she has done for me and the children. You will truly be missed!

To the Family of Ms Beth,
Beth touched the hearts of many children each day. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. She was beautiful, inside and out! I am quite certain she has already organized an Angel Choir in heaven, no one will blame her if her little granddaughter is the "Head of the Band". Take good care of each other during the difficult days ahead. She is at rest!

I had the awesome pleasure of working with Beth for 7 years. I am a pre-school teacher and twice a week Ms. Beth would arrive at our school with a smile on her face and a song in her heart to share with every single child. Beth loved talking about her children and grandchildren and she always had time to ask me about my little one who was lucky enough to have Beth as her first music teacher. My almost two year old daughter sings with such joy that every time she sings "The Wheels on the Bus" I smile and think of Beth. I am sad that I won't get more time to work with Ms. Beth, but I am thankful for the time we did share.

Beth created many memories for my family. She taught music to my son when he was in preschool 8 years ago and was my daughter's current music teacher. The songs that she taught them have been a part of the daily soundtrack in our home for many years and they are a huge part of our home video collection. My condolences to the family. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Ms Beth has been our son's music teacher for the past 4 years and was truly an amazing person and teacher. She will be fondly remembered. My thoughts are with her family as they mourn their loss.
