Jim,

Thank you for sharing this. I wrote to Beth more than once at these boards that her marathon with treatments was the most incredible I had ever followed here.  What is most amazing is that her spirits were almost always high and forward-focused.

May her family have peace in her memory.

That's really awfull to hear. Beth was a source of inspiration for me during my treatment and always had very kind and positive things to say. My heart really goes out to her family, a woman of such high character will be greatly missed. Thanks for posting Jim 

I am at a loss for words. As John said, Beth was active with the group when we came along in the spring/summer of 2010. John in May and me in July. I too talked with Beth late at night especially on the prednisone weeks when sleep was so hard to come by. She was so supportive and had the greatest personality...easy going, funny and someone I always thought would be fun to know and hang around with. This totally breaks my heart. In the 3 years I've been with the group,Beth is the first to have passed away....so very hard to wrap my head around. It was 3 years ago yesterday when my Doctor told us I had cancer. God bless you Beth...Love Sue

I am too new here to have gotten to know Beth. To her husband, I would say: I am so sorry to the loss of your beloved wife. To those of you, here with this group, who developed a friendship with her, I say: I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

With love,

Rocquie

So sorry for everyone's loss. Thank you for sharing her post, it was very beautifully written & a great lesson for all of us to remember. Praying for her family & friends

Beth

I have often wondered about Beth and her tough battles. She was here when I first started posting 3 years ago. We posted and she was always there to answer. Can't tell you how many times we sat and joked at 2am in the morning because neither of us could sleep for some reason or the other. It seemed she was always having a tough time, but always managed to fight it off. It seemed she had gone thru every treatment out there, but always came thru it with a smile. She was a fighter and a giver and cared about people. That's why I often thought about her and how she was doing. It wasn't like her to stop posting out of the blue. Wish we could have known earlier so we could have written her. Maybe she could not answer, but her husband could have let her know we were here for her. It's times like this that no words can be said to ease any pain. She did fight a couragious battle. Condolences go out to her family.  John

I'm very sorry for your lost. Similarly, my wonderful Dad was taken to hospital post sct and everything went downhill within couple weeks. It's very difficult when hopes are shattered so quickly. I lost my Dad last summer and it's been very difficult and gets so hard when the yr iscoming up and going through the hopes of sct we had last yr and what happened afterwards all over again... I can with others here relate to how difficult it must be. Wishing Beth and all her loved ones comfort and peace. She was a very sweet strong individual and she will be greatly missed. Afterall, they're never truly are gone because they are still part of our lives with the love we have for them and they live through our thoughts and love... Please take care... Our sincere thoughts with Beth, you, her father, sister and all her loved ones...
