Angela and Darin, I am so sorry about your Mother Beth, she always made me laugh such a special Lady! I pray every day that when your heart is weary God will fill it with Joy and hope! That is what your mother would want. Love spending time with her and speaking on the phone we spent more time on that phone laughing! Love Sue and Tom

Beth was a wonderful lady. She was a great neighbor to my sister, the late Pat Whitaker, when they lived on Neeley Street. I always enjoyed visiting with Beth during that time. May God be with her family now and the days ahead.
