"If you think of me as gone forever… I will be.
If you think of me as sadness and tears… I will be.
If you think of me as your broken heart… I will be.
That's not what I want to be, but I will be.
If you think of me as memories to cherish… I will be.
If you think of me as laughter and joy… I will be.
If you think of me as your healing heart… I will be.
That's what I want to be, please let me be."

Waco, TX Friday, September 28, 2018 What a joy it was to have Beth as a friend! Her kindness and understanding have truly touched my life. What an inspiration she was. Never did she let her illness get her down. She struggled back after every treatment, garnering all the energy she could muster, and continued to live her life joyfully - really living and relishing every moment, every event, every opportunity, and every emotion. She fought the good fight, she finished the race, and she lived a wonderful example of faith. Heaven truly gained an angel in Beth. I will miss you dear friend.Sandra Vielma Cowell
