Bethany’s spirit remains in the form of pure joy. She always found humor, even through the most difficult of circumstances and she loved her family deeply and selflessly. Upon our last visit she told me she loved me and then offered me comfort. She demanded that I keep my “chin up!” Bethany understood struggle and love more than most who walk this Earth. So, when things seem too difficult, I will remember the strength in her words and try to do just as she asked. I will keep my chin up and have faith that love and joy will see me through. Your friend in love and adventure, until we meet again, Bridgette
My heart breaks for all of you. I feel blessed that I had the pleasure of getting to know Bethany…such a gentle soul.
Many friends are crying with you and praying that you find comfort in each remembrance and strength in each embrace. May God hold you close during this difficult and sad time. Bethy will be greatly missed!

This is NOT a Goodbye my friend!!!!
***A FRIEND***
Is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn’t have a friend.
Bethy is my heroine. EVERY time we chatted, she would say “I’m doing fine, Jack.” She was positive and upbeat from the beginning to the end. The courage she had was phenomenal, and she set an example for the rest of us. Her family and friends will miss her, and she will be remembered.
My aunt Beth was such an amazing inspiration to my life. I will forever be blown away by the incredible love she had for each and every person. Her enduring courage through the worst of the pain, her hard fought battle of 7 years, and the great positive attitude she continued to display through it all are all testaments to the astounding love she had for the Lord, her amazing family, and to all those she held close. Now she is in a wonderful place, dancing with the Lord, finally unshackled from all the pain and sufferings of this world. Aunt Beth, thank you for everything, I will miss you dearly.

Dearest Sue,
I was so sad to hear you have lost your youngest sister at such a young age. I remember Bethany as a 6-year-old, sitting in your mom’s lap, rocking in the rocking chair in the living room of your home. As I read all the loving memorials in this guestbook, I got a glimpse at the woman she has become in the intervening years, a woman of great love and giving of herself to others. What a blessing she must have been to you and your siblings. My prayers are with all of you. I am sending lots of love and hugs to you, dear friend.
Bethy,you will be missed…everything about you says Happiness,we will keep you in our hearts forever we love you and keep us protected.
We will see each other again!!!
I love you ;
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Bethany always had a smile on her face when she brought Sarah back from lunch at Marcus Whitman.
My thoughts and prayers with you at this time.

Our sister was an amazing, remarkable patient, mother,sister,daughter,aunt,wife,and friend. Her legacy will be one who fought hard to have ONE MORE DAY OF LOVE with her family and close friends. Her final wish was to have her children baptized Christian, so they too would receive salvation and ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH CHRIST.
God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be, so He closed His arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.”
You didn’t deserve what you went through and so He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful,as He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping so peacefully and free from pain,
I would not wish you back to suffer that again.
Loving memories never die, as years roll on and days pass by.
In our hearts a memory is kept of one we loved…
and never will forget.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Christ the King Catholic Church
