I am so sorry to hear of Beth's passing. I remember her as a cute little girl, the much younger sister of my school mates, Karen and Glenn. May God wrap his loving arms around the whole family, especially Mrs. Pearson, Beth's husband, and daughter as they go through this difficult time.

Darren and Ava, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will never forget this lovely, strong, determined lady. She became my inspiration from the day that I first met her at the North Shore Dojo. Heaven has gained a magnificent karate player.

My condolences to the families. I didn't know Beth well when I went to Immanuel, but she was always kind and sweet when we spoke on occasion. It saddens me to hear of her passing. I pray for the Lord's comfort and healing to those she leaves behind too soon.
