  1. We are so very sorry for your loss. If anyone needs anything please let us know. The Larry Andrews family and Mark Bell.

  2. So many memories…rest in paradise my dear friend. You have earned some glorious wings. Visit the rainbow bridge, you will be welcomed by so many. My condolences to all that loved her so.

  3. To say the least me and my aunt Beth didn’t always get along, but i always knew she loved me. Most people told me it was because we were so much alike. I remember spending summers with her at her home in new york as a kid. I can remember endless days in the creek catching cray fish, Catching frogs in the pond, having weed pulling competitions on the patio, playing in the rain, making hobo pies under the pavilion, swimming all day, and eating good food. My aunt Beth had a soft spot for kids and animals. She was loving but firm. She would stand up for anything she believed in and wouldn’t let anything stop her just like her mom, my grandma. She will be greatly missed but its comforting knowing she will be greeted by my grandma, and my cousin because they are truely three of a kind.

  4. Im sorry for your loss of Beth she fought a long and hard battle and know can get the rest she deserved.RIP Beth. Prayers for Beths family.

  5. Beth, fly high my friend until we meet again, I can’t tell you bye but see you someday ,had great times long talks on the phone, can’t tell you how many times ,I went to call you I miss and love you my dear friend but like you said to me never do we say goodbye, so I see you again in time my friend sadly miss and never forgotten !!!!!

  6. It still feels so so unreal that you’re gone Aunt Beth. Im glad that you are no longer in pain, but at the same time I’m crushed that you are gone. Countless tears have been wiped in these few short days, and honestly all i can think is that i want you back here and healthy. I miss those times we spent in Virginia, having Tyler over to come play in the pool, and drinking your home made sweet tea out of my favorite Yosemite Sam cup. I remember us parking too close to the fireworks at the high school and getting the ashes all through my water. You yelling at Mitch to put me down at the pool everytime he was picking on me. I remember new york, how much fun us kids would have catching salamanders in the creek. All the fun i had digging in the snow with Zena. I remember you always complimenting how i looked in pictures Mark would take of me before my dances in high school, but i didn’t didnt always think much of them except that it would make me smile. There’s no possible way any of this will get easier any time soon, but I know you’d be giving me an ear full for crying. You didnt want me crying or anyone for that matter. You wanted to see smiles rather than tears, that’s just how you were.

  7. Deepest sympathies to all, such a great loss. Beth will be missed by so many, she definitely has a lot of friends. She was a very kind, beautiful person. Thoughts and prayers for the family. Teresa Markwood
