I am sorry for your loss. We had a class together this semester, we had wondered about her. I just heard about this yesterday. She was a sweet and beautiful young lady.

I was stunned to hear about Bethany. I was her religion instructor at DMACC. I only found out about her this morning. She was one of the nicest student I've ever had in any of my classes. I can only imagine your loss and sorrow. It is my sincere belief that she is in a much better place then we are. God's blessings to all of you because she is already receiving hers.

Chem,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you were close to your daughter. I remember when I worked at the clinic and you were showing pictures of her. You were always so proud of her. She was beautiful. I know she is in a better place now. May God bless you and your family and know that He is with you and your family always. As you grieve I pray that you will realize that she will ALWAYS be in your heart. Love you.

Bethany brightened my day quite often. We were in Show Choir together and had a few classes together as well. We were friends. She was one of the sweetest people Ive ever known. She had the rare ability to completely make you forget whatever troubles you had. I still cant believe this has happened. I already miss her, and cant imagine what youre going through.You have my sympathies in this trying time.

Dear Chem and family, I was so sorry to hear of Bethany's death. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. She could not have asked for a more devoted mother and she was tremendously blessed to have you in her life. I did not have the opportunity to know Bethany personally, but in reading her obituary, I could see that she was just like her mother, a very generous, gifted, loving individual. May God grant you peace at this time of sorrow.

Chem, I'm so sorry to read about Bethanys passing. My prayers are with you and your family. You were so kind to me while my husband was in the hospital and when he passed away. You will be always in my prayers. Your neighbor in the waiting room on the couch by the door going into the CCU room. Remember your memories of Bethany always. Love Carol
