I am so sorry that your loved one has passed away. Beth was a lovely lady and a good neighbor for years when we lived on Grigsby Ave. Your family and mine have been friends even before that with her nieces living down the street from my grandmother and aunts. Dub, Eddie, Allan and extended family you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you and give you strength and comfort.
Love in Christ,

To Dub, Eddie, Allan and all Beths family. I was so shocked to hear of Beth passing. She was such a wonderful Lady and such a joy to be around. God made her extra special. I know today she is in her Heavenly Home. I treasured her as my friend. I know she is rejoycing being with Jesus and her loved ones. It is really hard to give her up. The only wonderful thing is, we can meet her again. I know the pain you bear being without her. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I love all of you very much!

Beth and I go a long way back. I used to ride to work with her and Lavonne Cantrell (back in the days when not everybody had a car). We would meet and ride to Greenville. Those were fun days. She gave my daughter, Kim, her first permanent. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it. She has been my friend down the ages, when I was at First Baptist and we were involved in WMU together and I have loved her and Dub for many years. God bless you all. She was a great lady.
