    Gordie and family,
    I loved Beth’s laugh. She was so funny and always made me happy. A true sweetheart and I believe she is at peace now. I’m out of town on the weekend, but want to wish her family comfort and healing. Take good care of yourselves. Kim

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I just found out, and it saddened me greatly. She was a big part of my teen years. We were thick as thieves, and I will always cherish the many priceless memories we made together.
