Rodger, I am so sorry to hear about Beth. I was thinking back to when we were young and we were good friends. She was a wonderful friend, so kind and nice. Beth had a wonderful smile. She will be missed by many. Prayers for you and her family and all others hurting with the loss of Beth. All should take comfort in knowing she is with Jesus.
