Mrs. Goldman,
My condolences to you and your family. My daughter (Sarah Lenschow Jenniges) played basketball with Beth at Valparaiso University. Beth was a beautiful young lady, and as a mother I cannot imagine the pain you are going thru. I pray the Lord will wrap his arms around you and give you strength.
Prayerfully,
Jane Lenschow

I am deeply saddened to learn of Beth´s passing. The Goldmans and our family were neighbors for many years in Valparaiso.
We shared so many happy memories when the children played together on Burlington Beach and at Bicentennial Park.
Beth was such an adorable girl with her mop of curly black hair and radiant smile. In later years, after moves separated us, but we would meet each other, she was always the same, adorable, sweet Beth...always friendly and smiling. Her athleticism was striking. She was such a great basketball player and runner. I, also, loved seeing her with her best friend, Ann(her Mom). They always looked like they were having fun and enjoying the sweetness of everyday life.
Our deepest sympathy to Ann.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Liz Chael and family(Paul, Erica, Krista, Matthew and Kari and their families)
