Dear Jean, Carol, Cathy and families: we were saddened to learn about Beth’s passing today. I sure have a lot of great memories of your mother. Beth was the nicest lady ever. She had a real zest for life, a great sense of humour and was a lot of fun to be around. I also remember what a great baker Beth was and how she always made sure she had a few extra Hallowe’en cupcakes just for me. Our parents sure enjoyed a lot of great times together! Your mom was a true friend to Barb while she was so sick and we’ll never forget her kindness. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to attend Beth’s memorial service. We are keeping you and your families in our thoughts and prayers.

Jean, Carol, Cathy: Our deepest sympathy on the passing of a great woman. The pictures posted on line are absolutley stunning and sure bring back lots of fond, pleasant child hood memories of our two families socializing together. I for sure will never forget your mother’s fire cracker laughter. We will endeavor to attend Friday weather permitting and I don’t have to snow plow. Brian and family are away in the sunny south and send their love. Love Terry & Shelly Joyes

Aunt Beth was a wonderful woman who always enjoyed being included in family get togethers in Bayfield with us. We might not have seen her for quite awhile but we always stayed in touch with each other. She will be missed. Our sympathies to Jean, Carol, Cathy and their families.
