Dan, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Eric is forever in my heart, and now his Grandma can be with him forever. I don't know why that's such a comfort to me, but it is. Prayers are going out to you.

Best moment..when Michelle and Josh were Freshman at LNE and found out Beth was her Mom!
Beth helped Josh and Amy so much at LNE, as well as me when I was a Teammates Mentor! Loved seeing Beth at Reunions when Tony met her! Loved keeping in touch on Facebook. Our whole Family Loved Beth and will Miss Her!
