Beth is my very best friend. She
may be in heaven but she will
always be my best friend, I was so
blessed to have been able to have
the reltionship that her and I
shared, she will forever be in my
heart. Wayne and Beth's families
are very special people I love them
very much, being with them brings
Beth that much closer to me. I
hope that they know they can count
on me for anything. I will forever
miss you and Love you Beth.

Dear Wayne, boys and family,
Chris and I feel very blessed to
have known Beth and will always
remember her smile, kindness and
courage. We have shared many
memories with Wayne, Beth and the
boys. Desiree, Brooke and the boys
along with the other children at
church always seemed to bring a big
smile to Beth's face when the were
singing, saying their pieces or
taking each others shoes off so
they could run faster around the
church. We are so glad we have
these memories of Beth and will
keep them so close to our hearts.
We also are proud to say we are
friends with Wayne. He is a very
special man. He is so brave. He
is a very loving husband and
father. Wayne, you were Beth's
angel here on earth and now she has
gone to be yours and the boys angel
up above. You only get a few
chances of a lifetime to meet
people like Wayne and Beth and I am
so happy to say not only did I meet
them but I know them very well and
love them and their families
dearly. You all are forever in our
hearts.

Wayne,
We have traveled a similiar journey
so I have some idea of what you
have been through. Although, I
can't even begin to comprehend what
the past few months have been like
for you and your family. My
thoughts have been with you and
your family daily.
This past summer when Bill's health
took a turn--it was Beth who
brought words of encouragement to
us that gave us that little lift
that we needed to get through that
time. Even though Bill's new
treatment is not completely
working--it has been Beth's words
that have helped us refocus our
thoughts and even today helps us
feel peace and serenity even during
this uncertain time. When we felt
no one else understood--along came
Beth to say to us "I understand and
I care."
Just a couple of weeks before she
died she took the time to write us
hope filled email messages that
touched our hearts in a way that I
cannot express.
Bill once said that he hoped that
he could continue to face the
progression of his cancer with the
same strength and dignity that Beth
did right to the end.
Both you and Beth have been an
inspiration to many. My thoughts
continue to be with you and your
boys. I will never forget Beth and
the courage that she displayed.
Love and Prayers,
Bill and Wendy Dyer & Boys

Although were never fortunate enough to meet Beth, we have heard about her through two separate people. To have known her would have been a gift. She sounds so special! We are so sorry for your loss.
Because we have lost a daughter, we know that there are no words that can make this better. Please know that there are people who care and who are praying for you.
We have the following small saying on the side of our refrigerator: I will always cry sometimes...Because I miss her. But I will always laugh sometimes...Because I knew her!
Sincerely, Eileen and Don Veitch

JESSICA ST. JAMES
Although I don't know you, Wayne, I know of Beth through my sister in law, Annie Hall.
I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy
as I know what you are going through. My husband died due to complications from a bone marrow transplant in July. Losing one's soulmate has got to be one of the worst things possible to endure. I know it was for me. I hope and pray you have a strong support system with friends and family as they will be what gets you through this. Beth was truly an inspiration , and now she doesn't have to suffer any more. Please take care of yourself and your boys.
Weep not for me though I am gone;
into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will but not for long,
upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace,
my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was blessed;
for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
the fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts.
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath;
remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
but celebrate my life.

We have you all in our thoughts and prayers. Beth has touched so many lives. When
looking the word "angel" up in the dictionary, Beth Wright should be part of the definition
since she is a true angel. God bless you all.

Wayne, Joseph, Joshua; Tim, Lynne & Girls; Twyla & Joe;, Bill, Jeanine, & Family:
Want to let all of you know our thoughts are with you now as they have been over the the many months of Beth's illness. What a wonderful and sweet girl she was. We were lucky to know her as you all were to have her in your life. She was an inspiration to all in her fight and her memory will continue to be an inspiration to those fighting the battle of cancer and other illnesses. Her memory will be with us forever. God Bless All of You.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln:
Sorrow comes to all...
Perfect relief is not possible, except with time...
You cannot now think you will ever feel better,
And yet, you are sure to be happy again.

How can you tell someone how sorry you are.
No one knows the pain unless they have been through it. Wayne, boys, Joe, twyla and the rest of Beths loving family. I can tell you that Beths life was trully a blessing to all who knew her. My children were her friends Jackie and Jon it was hard for them to believe it. Thank God you will see her again...That beautiful young lady is with the angels, I want to give you this website to go to to look for strength it really helped me when my father passed away. God Bless You All!! http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/resort/9577/angel3.html My prayers are with you all.

Wayne all I can say is that god needed another angel and Beth was the perfect candidate. Everytime I talked to her I would think what a wonderful person. She had the best heart of anyone I new. So I know she will be looking out for you and the boys.Even though we didn't know her as well as we would have liked.We will always cherish the time we spent with her.

Beth is a cherished member of our family, but even we did not know all of her outstanding accomplishments. That is because she worked for others, never expecting recognition. We have never witnessed a finer tribute and celebration of life than the downeast communities paid you. We agree with those who said, "Beth was so close to perfect!" You live on in our hearts, and we will always love you.

Knowing Beth was like knowing an Angel. A smile that could brighten any room. A laugh that was wondeful to hear. Summer camps at Winniaugumonk was always so much better when you had a freind like Beth to share it with. I will never forget her or the way she was always my freind. She is a true Angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the opportunity of meeting Beth at the office where I work, and also being in labor together at the same hospital in November 1998. Our sons were born a day apart, so we had a special bond. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and to her husband Wayne and two boys, may you all find the peace that she now has. Love and Prayers

With my deepest sympathy, Wayne & boys and family.I had the pleasent opportunity to meet Beth quite a few years ago,she introduced me to Mary Kay the cosmetics. She was always so pleasent to me and my family. We went to many meetings together.We had alot of fun.She was a wonderful person and i will deeply miss her. The last time i spoke to her she had just got off vacation with Wayne and she came to my hair salon and said she would like to tan because she had a great tan going and didnt want to loose it. We didnt see alot of each other but when we did we made the best of it. She will live on in my memories and some day i will see her lovely smile again. to Wayne you've been my friend for many years, just remember if you ever need anything just call.

Wayne, please know that my deepest symphathy is with you. Beth was one exceptional person and I was so lucky to be touched by her. May your friends and families' strength help you through these difficult times. "And when one of us is gone, and one of us is left to carry one, then remembering will have to do, our memories alone will get us through, think about the days of me and you..." "Please let the love I have for you fill your aching heart, for I will be there to greet you in the light of Heaven's dawn..." Please know that Beth will always be with you and she does live on through you and your children. God have Mercy.

We cannot begin to tell you how saddened we were to read of your beautiful wife and mother's passing today...Although our paths do not cross on a daily or even frequent basis, you must know that somehow we are all woven together with fragile but strong threads. We wish you peace and hope for the future. How lucky to have been touched by a courageous angel, luckier still to have been completely loved by her. You all are in our thoughts and prayers, not just today but for a long time.

I was fortunate enough to have known Beth for quite some time. She was a caring, kind, and very sweet individual...the kind of person that everyone loves and wishes they could be like. She was practically an angel on Earth...and now she is needed in another place. I'm sure that anyone who was fortunate enough to have known Beth will never forget her. My thoughts and prayers are with you...her family and friends.

Please know that I am thinking of you and your beautiful boys.
Heaven now has two beautiful people .

I am not dead, I did not die,
I only passed from earth to sky.
From dark to light, my soul took flight,
Beautiful here, a wondrous sight.
The face of Jesus I can see,
Happy I'll be when you're with me.
The grief you feel will soon subside,
And in it's place in you abide.
Belief that I'm free from pain,
And joy that I am well again.
The sweetness of the times we shared,
The laughter, and tears together paired.
The dreams we dreamed, the plans we made,
The "I love you's" so often said.
These memories never fade away,
But grow brighter day by day.
