To the family of Beth. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Beth a few years back in the operating room. She was always kind to me. Here lately these past few years Beth and I talked in the early mornings briefly prior to our shift. I now work in radiology check in and my shift is very early, Beth was always here also. I checked her in many time for testing also, we'd catch during that process.
I will miss her presence here at St Luke's.
I pray for family during this time of grief. She will be missed.
