Doug and Terry, I don't think LOVE is a big enough word to express how I felt about Beth. She was the most courageous person that I knew, and I would often think of her when I was feeling sorry for myself. Her passing is bittersweet-she rests in the arms of GOD where there is no suffering-but she will be missed so much-by so many. My heart goes out to the both of you-carried by my tears. Delila
