I meet Beth when she owned her travel agency in NJ . I deliver airline tickets for her. She inspired me to go to college and become a teacher. At night when after she put in a days work at teaching she would come to the travel agency and work till at least 9:00 at night sometimes later. She helped me get threw algebra.
She was the maid of honor in my wedding and like the sister I always wanted but never had.
Then she sold the business and we all worked for the new agency until she retired from teaching and moved to California. Before she left she gave me a statue of the fairy godmother from Cinderella and told me to remember her when I looked at it. Ironically that movie was on tv the night she passed away.
I visited her several times during the years. Marty Beth and I went to Disneyland and ate in San Diego at a Mexican restaurant with her best friends mom . She showed me all over and why she loved California so much. On anther trip we went San Diego wild animal park when I came out with my mom , and we got to feed giraffes and rhinos .
She helped me arrange a surprise trip for my parents to Ireland. She also put together other trips for me and was in the middle of putting together another one when this happened. A cruise down the Mississippi River.
Beth was the friend I could call at 12:00am because of the three hour difference. It was only 9:00 in California. She had the best advise and was a big part of the 35 years I knew her . I will miss her and I’m just glad someone was with her when it was her time to past on.
Take care , Beth love always Liz.
