My heart goes out to Mary Beth's family and friends. Our friendship goes back many years, and though we didn't have the opportunity to spend much time together, when we did, it was like we saw each other every day. She was gracious and funny and genuine. I will miss her.

Mary Beth will always be remembered in my heart. Her smile was contagious, her ambition to help others was incredible. To her daughter Elle, her family, and friends, my deepest condolences. Our lives will never be the same without Mary Beth. She was simply amazing.

Words can not describe the sadness I have today. Mary Beth and I were acquaintances in the Surety industry. I had the opportunity to work with Mary Beth for 3 years. Our acquaintance turned into friendship outside of work. Your beautiful eyes and smile will forever be in my mind. You will never be forgotten. RIP my dear friend. xoxo

Will miss her smile! She was a beautiful lady. Mary Beth recommended me for a job in the surety industry for which I will always be grateful. LJ Blinn
