I will miss Beth..I worked with her for over fifteen years at MVH. She made the years there go by fast. She was an amazing woman who was a great nurse. She loved her children dearly and I remember the day when she told me that she was going to be a grandma...she was so excited. She had a great gift of taking care of people..now God can take care of her...God Bless. Beth Wilson

To Amanda (and your brother and sister)
I remember your mother's involvement in all our "Daisy and Girl Scout" activities. From Clown School to singing silly songs to our overnight at Camp Mac-a-CHEESE...she always supported our G.S. Troop 1444. My heart goes out to each of you. I hope you will be able to look upon the wonderful memories your mom helped create for you and through your tears, smile a smile in her memory. I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time.
