My heart goes out to the Myerhoff and Findley families. I just recently heard of Beth's passing as I relocated many years ago. Beth was one of my favorite Nurse colleagues at Georgetown. A wonderful friend to all of us-- always a smile for her patients and always a work shift punctuated with laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with Beth and her family.

What a sparkler - gone far too soon. I always called her "Pink Beth" because of her running clothes, and have since learned that many others did also. She was always ready to help any poor soul - including me - who needed a friend or just a simple word of encouragement. We miss you, Beth.

I loved her smile. I loved her kindness. I saw her often at meetings and in the spirit of the St Francis prayer read at Redeemer yesterday, she never failed to turn my negativity or fear into something more bearable. I am very very sad as all her family and friends are, but how lucky we were to know her. A reason, a season, a lifetime. Thank you, Beth.

I had the pleasure of knowing Beth through an art class we were taking together and found ourselves running into one another wherever we might be shopping. More than once did she help me carry out the heaviest items and it seemed she found me whenever I needed help. She was so lovely and lively and always pretty in pink. I am very saddened and will always remember her kindness.
For one of my completed stuffed animal projects, she looked over and pinned a small, bright red heart that she said it needed. That was Beth, providing heart to the occasion.

These photos are of both sides of a piece Beth did in my art class in 2007. I think they show her lovely playfulness and color sense. Beautiful work.
