George, Suzanne and family, I can hardly find words to tell you how sad I am at your tragic loss of Beth. Let it suffice to say my sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with you.
I remain your very good friend. Patty.
Ken and Family, Gene and I want to express our deepest condolences. We were both so shocked when we heard the news of Beth's passing. We were out of touch with Beth, but when we heard the news it made us remember the beautiful person she was. She had actually been in the clinic where I work a few years ago with one of her cats that was on up in age, so I got a chance to reconnect with her when she came in. She hadn't changed a bit. We will continue to think about and pray for your family as we know that void will always be there, but know that she wouldn't want you to be sad, she would want you to make her proud and carry on. GOD SPEED.
Myself and the citizens of Cross County are so sorry for the loss of your daughters life while in our county. She was so beautiful . May God bless all of you and comfort you at this time.
Beth is smiling down on us right now and telling us not to worry she is in the right place. She is an angel like she has been practicing to be her entire life! I will miss you my friend!!
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know Beth is loving on those that went before her. Just wish she were still here to love on us...0
Heaven has truly gained an Angel. Beth you are greatly missed but will forever be in our hearts. You were always there when needed and it meant a lot to me. The loss of you and your beautiful personality will surely impact us all. Continue to rest easy. Although you are gone to soon, you will never be forgotten.
My condolences to your family and friends in the loss of
a very remarkable young woman. Her contributions to each
of you and to those at St. Jude is simply a tribute to this
young daughter.
Its a very sad time for all, but Beth is now in God's loving arms.
I'm so sorry in your loss. I wish I could attend her service, but
am unable to due to my recent surgery. My thoughts & prayers
are with you. Peggy Duncan and Family
My thoughts and prayers are with y'all! Heaven has another angel!!
Beth holds such a special place in my heart. She always lit up a room with her smile. I know her salvation is secure and she has gained her Victory. Prayers for her family, who will daily miss her joy and light. Till we meet again...............
Loss of a loved one can be so difficult, no matter what age or how their precious life ends. We will all miss Beth's love she gave so willingly each & everyday. She has earned her Wings well. Beth was an angel long before she left us by working at St Jude's BMT unit. She was gifted in many ways. Know she will be missed by all those that knew her. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
Thinking of you and family during this very sad time. Can't imsgine your heartache. As part of the family, though distant in time and keeping up we feel your loss. You are all I our prayers . Love you
It's so hard to believe our earthly angelic Beth has become a heavenly angel. What a fitting way our Father called her home: to be doing what she loved the best with the people she loved the most. Beth was such an awesome nurse- full of understanding and love for her patients and brought such joy to her coworkers. I am so fortunate that Beth's life touched mine. Heaven has a new beautiful voice in the choir and someone who will love playing with the children. "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Beth will be missed more than words can express. Thank you to the family for sharing such a bright light in our lives with all of us..
My prayers for each of Beth's family and all the St Jude staff who knew and loved Beth. She will definitely be missed.
You Will Be Missed Beth.. I Just Worked With You On Monday, Didn't Know That Would Be My Last Time Seeing You. You Were Such A Great Person. I'm Miss Seeing You.
Ken I'm so sorry for your loss you are in prayers love you
Dear Suzanne:
Please accept our condolences on your loss.

Beth cared for our family at St. Jude as if we were her own. During our hardest of days she gave us the greatest gift a nurse can give, HOPE. We loved and appreciated Beth - she will be missed.
Beth, my heart is broken. You are gone, and everything just feels surreal. You were one of the three people I credit with teaching me how to be a nurse. I am the clinician that I am in part because of your guidance and willingness to put up with my loud mouth and sarcasm. You pushed me to be better, and you gave wise counsel when I screwed up. Your wit and warmth, your obvious love for your patients, and your willingness to say exactly what needs to be said will all be missed. What I will miss most, though, are the random texts and chats, especially when we were dealing with loss or when you and I were thinking of our boy. Thank you for being my teacher, my friend, and above all for just being you. And I am being quieter, at least for a little while.
With my deepest love and respect.

Heaven has gained an angel and while missed on earth, know that Beth impacted many lives she touched. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. That joy is knowing that Beth is with her Savior.
Beth was a beloved and valuable member of the Bone Marrow Transplant nursing team at St. Jude. Her loss will long be felt by staff, patients, and families. She is already missed beyond measure by her work family. Praying for your family during this difficult time.
Ken and family,
My heart breaks for you because you are hurting. You are an extraordinary man with extraordinary faith that will see you and your family through this. She was doing what she loved with those she loved in her final days. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will see her again and you can rest in that faith.
