Woody and family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Beth´s passing. The kids and I have such wonderful memories of our backyard shenanigans (P-Mooney in the sandbox is one!) in South Shores. Beth was the best backyard neighbor and friend-always had her door open and a fresh cup of coffee ready! Deepest of sympathy from all of us, and much love and support to you all during this time.
