Sad for the loss yet relieved to end the suffering. As a kid we had spent time together then didn't see each other for a while. Visited each other a few years ago and had a good time. Dad and grandpa and grandma will be waiting for you with a story and some laughs. Will miss you Aunt Mary Beth

Mary Beth's parents, Barb and Gale, were very close to my parents. As a result, Mary Beth and I were able to spend a great deal of time together as children and graduated from high school together. I have wonderful memories of our families spending time at each other's homes and celebrating special occasions. We all remember Barb, Gale, Doug and now Mary Beth fondly.
