I sat behind Beth in Chorus for two years. It was like sitting behind an angel with a great sense of humor! I can remember listening to her in the Pajama Game, the Sound of Music, and all of the choral concerts. O Holy Night never sounded so good! Heaven has gained an angel that can fill the heavens with her voice and her smile. I reconnected with her several years ago while my mom was at NHC. Beth was her speech therapist during her 8 week stay and I got to see her everyday. Every one knew that Beth would shine whenever she sang but I came to know that she would shine in everything she did. She talked about her family and her patients with a sense of pride and pure joy. I had no idea she was sick and wish I had known so I could have visited her. Rest in peace, Beth. And when you pass through the pearly gates, fill the heavens with your beautiful voice to let them know that you are heaven's brightest angel. My heartfelt prayers will be with Beth's family in the days and months to come. God bless you all!

I met Beth during a difficult time in my life. Beth was there to offer advice, a smile, or to make me laugh. She is very important to my family, and we will miss her greatly. Our prayers are with her family. Beth we love you.

Beth's smile was infectious; I could be having a bad day and seeing her smile would always brighten it. She was a wonderful, knowledgeable speech-language pathologist; I know many of the students who interned with her credit her teaching and supervision to making them more confident SLPs. Beth handled this last challenge with strength, grace and bravery -- on her own terms -- just as she did all her life. My deepest condolences to her family and the many friends whose lives she touched. Peace be with you!

I am so blessed to have known Mrs. Beth. There has never been any doubt in my mind about her love for our Lord and Savior. It saddens me that she is no longer here on this natural earth, but it brings me great joy knowing that she has made it to her REAL home. No more sickness, no more pain, and no more tears. Mrs. Beth will be missed more than words can express, but I refuse to say goodbye because I know that one day we will meet again.

I dearly loved Beth. She was always kind to me. In the almost 10 years I've known her, I always saw a smile followed by a laugh. She had a servant's heart. Her work was meaningful and made a difference in so many lives. I can't count how many Beth hugs I've had over the years. I can see her in my mind's eye...her mannerisms, her happy self just going through her day with the gift of being herself for everyone who came in contact with her that day. Beth really loved. She was always herself with no pretenses. Just a real vital, loving person who would do anything for anyone. What a loss for this world, what a gain for the next one! I love you, Beth. May the trail of beautiful memories you have left us comfort us all as we grieve our loss. May God bless your family with peace of mind and heart during this time.

My first friend I met in 1968, and she stayed my friend until the end, I lost contact with her and I cherish the sleep overs, dancing, and singing with that I will forever cherish.
