I remember years ago when Beth was a very little girl, her Grandmother Jackie bragging about how special she was and exacting about care for the environment.  She had projects and experiments and lots of reading about the Nature she loved and she would be excited to share.  May the peace she now has be bestowed upon her loved ones and the Earth she treasured.

I knew Beth through my daughter, Mary, and I found her to be sweet, intelligent and extremely creative. She was the maid of honor at Mary's wedding and she baked cakes for the shower. She was an excellent baker and proud of her finished product. This world will be a sadder place without such a beautiful soul. My deepest sympathies to the Mata family.

My deepest sympathies to Valerie, Gerald, Victoria, and all your family.  I never met Beth personally but held her in high regard from the stories I heard.  Here was a young woman who could accomplish anything she thought of doing, and did everything with kindness and competency.  You all are in our prayers until you see her again.
