I have never met Mary Beth but I know she is has a wonderful heart and soul. Being a best friend to my two aunts, Debbie and Marla, says a lot about her. However she really touched my heart by giving up her time to not only take care of my Uncle Brad but they had a really good time together. Thank you Mary Beth for making a difference in the lives of my family. God Bless you and may you rest in peace.

She was a good friend and a good neighbor. But I had fun being in the Bible Study with her
