"I'M FREE"
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of day
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one's touch
If my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Beth was probably one of the sweetest most big hearted person I knew. She would do anything for anyone and never expect a thing in return. Colton & family I am thinking of you all at this time, and I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray god gets you all through this hard time.

She added a ray of light to my day with all her funny antics and her jokes. She was a hard worker who was always there to help others. I will miss her laugh and her beautiful smile. May we always remember her for the wonderful person she was.

When I moved back to my hometown and started at Gaudenzia, Beth didn't quite know I was starting my life over for what felt like the millionth time. I think she did see I was a bit nervous being back home, but she had faith in me and "threw me to the wolves". She was such a great friend and boss for the short time we worked together. She was the first and only boss I had who allowed me to be myself and I whole-heartedly appreciate that! My heart goes out to your family Beth!

A sweet and beautiful soul. So many fond memories growing up together. I still remember Mr. Bells class and every time I turned around you were right there sitting behind me in our row. All the laughs. All the times we hung out. All the memories. My mom wanted me to tell you how sweet and beautiful you were. We will miss you - Ashley and Cindy

Beth was not only my aunt, but also my best friend. Every time we got together we would laugh. My favorite memory was when we would play pranks on the neighbor and one day we were running and I had flip flops on and I tripped over the rain spout. We laughed for hours. If I could tell her one thing, it would be that I'm sorry. I will always love you and miss you. -Colton Troup
