Beth was a wonderful person, a musical talent with a contagious joie de vivre and a good friend and neighbor for years. As Gabbai at Kahal, a service she once attended regularly, lately when I read her name I would pause, as it pained me to think about what she was dealing with and why. We will truly miss her. Beth's memory is a blessing.

Such heartbreaking news. I first met Beth (and Becky) in in 2001, when we all studied together in the same B'nai Mitzvah class, struggling through learning Hebrew as an adult, but enjoying every minute of our wonderful class. Beth was so smart, funny, and talented. Sending my love to Becky and Megan. May Beth's memory be for a blessing.

I am sorry To hear this news.. Again, someone way too young. I’ll let Debbie’s daughter know, but I don’t think they’ll tell Debbie know. I’m living in Florida now and I’m sure you know the situation with Debbie. If you don’t just p/m ne. I’m sure you have a lot to deal with yourself..
