Mark, Geoffrey, Adam and the Hesper Family: There are no words to express how deeply saddened so many are to hear of Beth's passing. I feel so lucky to have know such a wonderful woman for so many years. I always looked forward to our "girls' weekends" down the shore. She always talked about Geoffrey and Adam and what was going on in their lives...she was always so proud of all "three" men in her life. I feel fortunate to have called Beth, "friend," and I will always remember her kind, witty and kindred spirit. My life has been truly blessed by knowing Beth. She will remain in our hearts forever.
