Ma- There is a space in my heart that will be forever empty. I love you and miss you more than I oculd ever have imagined. So many times I have thought, "Oh, I have to call Ma." It is for a split second, then I feel that empty place in my heart. I hope I can be as strong as you when my time comes.
We missed you so much at Andrea's college graduation. I know you were there with us. You would have been so proud. I will see you on the other side Ma. Love you forever.

Beth was brought into our lives with a big smile. She loved us all and we loved her back with all our hearts. She completed the Flaherty family and added pure friendship and love, which will never be replaced. My brother is better for having loved her. A couple to be admired. We pray for God to help us to live as Beth did, with a smile and zest for life.

Ma, my heart actually aches. I woke up this morning and wanted to call you to let you know what time I would be over, just like I did last Sunday. How does life change so much in a split second?
You would have loved the service yesterday, the eulogy , bagpipes. I know you were smiling down on us.
Tell Dad I miss him and love him so. I love you both so much.
We will be together again someday.

Aunt Beth was truly a wonderful person.
She was loved by her entire family and her friends.
My mom, aunt and uncles would share stories how much they loved their "little sister Beth."
May your memories bring you strength and comfort. May God Bless Aunt Beth.
