I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for your loss of Beth. I live in Perry, but met Beth at Wells Fargo and saw her around on a regular basis. We connected over living in Perry also. We always said Hi in the hallway and/or chatted a little bit. I will miss seeing and talking with her at work. I made a donation in her name to U of I Children's Hospital in honor of "The Wave".
