To our Greggy: We love you so much and know you will miss Beth terribly. We know you loved each other very much. The last time we saw you two together you seemed so happy and that makes us happy. We were so glad she came to our family dinners and will miss her funny sense of humor. You have always been there for her and she told us that she appreciated that so much. Never doubt she knew how much you did for her. You looked out for her just like you did for us when we were little. We love you always!!

I guess I'll start with the first time I met Beth.. Oh this is so hard, but here goes. The first time I met Beth, her close friend and mine now (Christy Kelly) brought her up to the Garden of the Gods, a place in the Chatsworth hills where we used to hang out and party after work and at certain times we used to live there. Beth and I became friends right away, and at times, in the beginning, more. As time went by and Beth and my brother Greg's relationship grew, so did Beth's and my friendship grow. I have never known a more forgiving and kind heart. She would do anything to help anyone. She was truly one of a kind.
The last time I saw Beth it was the Thursday afternoon before she died. We talked about the next season that we would both be working on. She looked happy and healthy. I am so grateful we had that 45 minutes or so to talk one more time, and drink one more beer together. God I had know idea it would be the last.. I will miss her more than words can describe.

Beth you're the quintessential LA woman. Almost 15 years as neighbors, the last 2 years we got to know each other and you're an exciting woman with a good sense of humor. Gonna miss you. I'm hoping everyone will come to your memorial.

You have been at the forefront of my thoughts since last Saturday, you and Greg.
We miss you.
This is my fav time of year...longer days, heat, sun, seeds planted...deck is warm, all the windows in the house OPEN,
the smell of dirt, wet, rich dirt, hot concrete that has gotten wet, mulch and grass and hot hay...its a day full of promise.
I am listening to the wind chime its not clanging about like it usually does, today it is melodic and quiet, it wants to be
heard...
I have been thinking about you every day, and every day my heart breaks for the loss of you...little cracks open up and your loss seeps in and overwhelms me.
I see the Dead Concerts...twirling, singing...laughing, the Kern trips, rockstacking...secret conversations with just you, me and Shell about Greg, Chris,Bob...and the crazy, dysfunctional, functional, hysterical, sweet, loving tribe
that you all formed!

You were the heart beat of so much of our time together...God Damn it you made me laughso hard...your stories, your experiences...that laugh of yours...classic!
I thought it was going to go on like that forever, I thought we were young enough and tough enough...I wasn't
ready or prepared for it to be over...
You are part of the "All" now, so I know you aren't ever really gone...maybe thats you in that wind chime today
singing "Ripple" to me while I work in the garden and Chris cooks, both of us wrapped up in our own personal
devastation.
Chris misses you so much, its a deep sadness that he cannot lend his voice to so he plays the Dead...sings along
and there you are,vibrant, laughing, dancing...ready for whatever mischief was afoot...he loves you, so much!
I know that you are infinite now and yet you are right here with me, Chris and Greg...and all the people who have
loved you and you have loved. You are loved Beth by so many, many people and love like that doesn't die.

There are not enough words to truly express every wonderful aspect of Beth. I feel very blessed to have known and been friends with Beth. Even though I have known her for barely over a year, I feel as if she has always been there. She was a ray of sunshine, when I was down she would make me feel better the minute she popped in. She was kind and friendly to everyone she encountered and at the same time she had no problem with letting you know if you were wrong in a no nonsense way without being rude or hurtful. Beth was one of the most kind and compassionate people I have ever met.In addition she was a talented artist with her welding. Her work was created from her heart and was filled with the love she had for the person she created it for. I miss her every single day and know I always will. Thank you Beth for being you and for giving me the pleasure and honor of knowing you.

Hi Beth,
I didn't have the privilege to meet you. But I have been consumed by thoughts of you all week, and I am sure Greg's will go on for a thousand more. I enjoy listening to him talk about you. How hard you worked when helping him out on jobs that required more than one person. That there was no one he would rather work with, or just be in the company of. Thank you for bringing more love to this world. Love, admiration and devotion is what I hear in Greg's stories of life's adventures with you. But it will be hard for Greg without your loving touch. He is one of my favorite people and quite a character. I see him like Fred Stanford forever talking to you, telling you the big one's coming to reunite these souls. There is no better life than to give love and be loved. So thank you for being Beth

Life at best is too short but Beth left us way too early! I have fond memories of her, especially when she came in with Greg riding shotgun in the truck. Greg you two were definitely soul mates, partners and best friends. I am sorry for your loss, I will miss her too.

To a very strong and wonder person
I've know Beth for over 25 years even though we were not close-close we have talk many times and had contact throughout the years from mutual friends or if I called just to say "hi".
I've always loved talking to her and when we met up in person she always kept me on my toes and I'd have to shake my head and laugh.
When Beth walked into the room, people would always know just by her ora or by her being so out spoken and loud. This was all in good fun and Beth being Beth.
I've always liked her and her abrasiveness as I'm the same at times.
I do have to say," I'm glad i was able to hear her voice in the background while i was talking to her roommate/friend the night she passed.
Your kindness to people and dedication to animals was the greatest. The love you have for your friends and loved ones is unmeasureable.
The time has come for us to say "so long fir now" till we meet again. Be at peace our friend.
You'll be truly missed my friend.

Beth was one of my oldest & best friends. We met at West Granada High School & became instant friends. Our friendship has remained sound & true throughout all these years. I took Beth to her first Grateful Dead show & just like my first show she found her tribe. This of course made our bond even stronger. We had so many adventures together. She was a ride or die kind of friend. She was down for anything. She saved my ass a few times & I hers! Months could go by w/out talking & we would pick up right where we left off. When you have been friends w/someone that long you form you own language words, phrases, gestures, sounds that will instantly bring laughter between you & having who ever is around look at us like we were crazy!! That was us!! Beth was always laughing & smiling. Such a HUGE part of my entire life & I will miss her more than words can express. Fare thee Well my friend, I love you, Christy "La la "

Dear Greg,
Beth's heart beat for you each day and night
She was your star and your shining light
The joy that she brought you'll ever hold dear
Your memories of her will keep her near
I'll remember Beth as a loving person. I'm glad I got to know her.

I will always think of Beth when I hear this song:
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand
And ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Beth was one-of-a-kind, always with the biggest laugh in the room. She was generous, giving, and as anybody who ever knew her will attest, up for anything with a tireless spirit of adventure. She was so kind to her dogs; in fact, she never met one she didn't love and want to bring home. What's more, Beth and Greg were an amazing couple...and always will be. That's how we choose to remember this loving woman - for all the joy and humor she brought to people's lives, especially Greg's.

Beth was an interesting, down to earth lady. I admired her for not holding back her opinions and being the tough girl she was. She was a great match for Greg. I know that some day we'll meet again and the good times will continue. I pray for her, Greg, her family, and friends. She is Loved and adored. Beth will not be forgotten.

I will miss Beth very much. I will miss her laugh and how she adopted our family nick names like it was normal for every family to have them. I will miss her at family dinners and sitting around talking to her. I will miss her kind tender heart and how much she loved our family. She was there through it all, the good times and bad and loved my Brother very much. I will miss her calling me Kenna and her big sincere hugs. I will just miss her.
