In Loving Memory of Beth:
The cold American winter closed you down, folding your hands and eyes in restful sleep as a stopped clock ceases to run away with the seconds and you, once so vividly alive, pass into shadow and memory
the home in which you lived is quieter now, robbed by death’s coldness of your warm presence, and the sound of your laughter vanished, at best an echo lingering in the suddenly silenced air
so many years we shared in cyberspace, and you, intelligent and kind, often restrained my quick temper with your wise words
we often disagreed, but there was always mutual respect and even affection; a light has been quenched in the ether, a damp chill shrouds the air with your passing
fragrance of you still loiters even now, and the bells of your determination ring as if defying your untimely summons to leave our mortal shell
I trust in God, knowing that He will cherish You, and embrace you in His loving arms, As one more angel enters heaven’s gates, Receiving your just soul into new life

May she RIP
We have lost too many forum friends of late. It saddens me a great deal.
You will be missed Beth.

Yes, she was a lovely person and always able to get me to calm down when I got too aereated.
I am still missing her sense of fun and her sense of fairness.
