Beth was one of a kind. Her empathy and concern for others knew no bounds. She always greeted me with a large smile and arms open wide. The last time I saw her was at our high school reunion and I will hold that memory dear. My condolences to her family.

Dave and Janet, I am so very sorry for your loss. My dad, too, had an astrocytoma that we lived with for many years. My heart goes out to you and your family.

We will always remember how kind you and Beth were when we moved next door after our overseas tour. Especially Beth’s comfort and sympathy at the passing of Liese’s father right after our arrival. It was wonderful to have you as our neighbors all these years, especially seeing our daughters grow up together. Beth will be dearly missed!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Erik, if your mom’s name is Nancy Warren, I was her roommate in ‘nursing school’. I knew Carmen too. They used to take me to class reunion functions. I’ve met you and Scott, but it’s been a long time. Again, sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
