There are no words that could possibly ease the pain you all must be feeling right now. I did not know Beth personally, but my siblings did. I pray that Beth is now healthy and happy in her eternal place of rest. I pray that you all, someday, find the strength to know that Beth is alright now. Our thoughts and deepest prayers are with your entire family in this unsettling time. God Bless you all.
With deep sympathy,

Beth was one of my very dear friends. We were real close after high school and she was in my wedding. She is in a wonderful place now with her Savior, and without any of the troubles her human body had to deal with. We will miss her very much.

Rest in peace, Beth, in the arms of Christ, your Savior! Where you are there will be no more pain, or sorrow, or sickness or death. No more battles with sin-- only freedom, eternal joy, and everlasting peace in the presence of the One who makes every valley lifted up, and every crooked path straight. I will always remember you!! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, Burnham family.

My deepest sympathies to the Burnham family. Beth is with God and no longer suffers from the affliction that caused her pain. I will remember the bright cheerful girl that Beth was. She would follow her older sister's around wanting to be just like them. May she rest in peace and give comfort to her family knowing that she is at peace.

You will forever be in my heart, Beth. I am a better person for having known you. I love you!
