Today the first thing I was faced with was to learn that my friend Beth Middleton Guess had died in the night. I suppose she has been the friend my own age that I have known the longest since our parents were friends before we were very old. I will always think of Beth as the sweetest, quietest girl I knew. She always had a smile, a soft voice, and was a loyal friend. We had so many sleepovers together, so many vacations together, trips to the lake together--just a great childhood full of memories that we shared. Today was her oldest son, Chan's, birthday. She and Mike were the first of our friends to have a baby, and we all doted on him like he was a baby doll instead of a human being! I know that Mike, Chan and Mart, Paula and her two sweet granddaughters are so devastated at her death even knowing that it was coming due to her advanced cancer. I will always remember visiting with her at Dad's funeral, and how she just had a sweet smile on her face like nothing was wrong in her world. The world will be less without her in it.
