I sincerely am heartbroken with and for the family and many many friends that are left behind. I count it a joy to have had such a spirited young lady part of my life even in a small way. She will certainly be a loss that will be felt greatly by many who held her near and dear to themselves. My prayers are lifted for her family and I know that Bethany has left many great memories in her short life time here to be remembered forever.
May she rest in serene peace now and forever more.
God Bless,
