Condolence: Dear Babette & Bernie,
Words fall short of expressing my sympathy in your tragic loss of Bethany. I've been praying for you and your family since first hearing of her passing and I will continue praying for all of you! May you find some solace in the memories. I wish I could be there to give you hugs but still in Florida until 3/2. Big HUGS to you both! Love, Chelle

Condolence: Pat and Brit, Of course you have my deep sympathy and empathy.. And I know you both know how much she loved you and how proud she was of Brit for graduating from O.U.. As her aunt who has known her all her life, my sweetest memories of her are of a truly beautiful little girl with very blonde straight hair. Every time I see my granddaughter, who also has straight, very blonde hair, I am reminded of Bethany and the many good memories she gave me.

Condolence From: Donnie Oliverio, Lewis Center, Ohio
Condolence: So sorry Pat. I can't help but remember what you once told me. "Sometimes bad things happen to good people." Trust in the lord to guide you. And your friends too. Love you brother.

Condolence From: Seth Miller, Westerville, Ohio
Condolence: Dear Pat and Brit,

You all have been family to me since Brit (aka the other, short blonde dude with different shoes on each feet) and I became best friends in middle school.

This loss saddens me on multiple levels...

I'll never forget Beth hanging out on Hocking St for Mom's weekend at OU. She was all smiles as she watched Brit and his best friends (including Rusty) party jubilantly with her and the other moms'.

Beyond that weekend, she always supported me whether that was on the soccer field, in school, or in my own ventures for which I am eternally thankful for.

I don't think I know two tougher people than you and your dad, Brit. You guys have always had my back and I will always have yours.

With love,
Seth

Condolence: I worked with Beth at "Ohio Fisherman" back in the late '80's. She was a lovely person with a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed the time I spent with her.
My deepest sympathy to her family at this very difficult time.

Condolence From: Kim Jameson, Westerville, Ohio
Condolence: Pat & Brit,

I was stunned and sad to hear about Beth. Although our lives take different paths and people lose touch with friends that they truly care about, we understand and appreciate that you and Beth were always true and authentic friends. I know from past experience how much Beth truly loved her family, including her dogs. There is no question that she loved both of you more than anything, and, without a doubt, she was a proud mom that would do anything for her only son, Brit. I will always cherish the memories our families shared. I lost my mom this past November without warning, and the emotional roller coaster during the past few months has been really tough. Although you guys may have had time to try and prepare yourselves for this loss, understand that you will still need time, support from your family and friends, memories, and the close relationship you two share as father and son, to help you both get through this. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything at all.
