"The Wederquist family in Colorado sends their deepest condolences as Beth passes from this life - it is so hard to know what to say at a time like this. It has been so many years since we have seen Beth but certainly time and distance does not reduce the sorrow we all feel knowing that she left this life and her family much to soon. Someone very special to me once said, as we were gathered with family waiting for a beautiful life to pass, "Kurt what if there are as many people waiting on the other side for her to arrive as there are here waiting for her to pass...?" That one thought has remained with me for over 20 years and has offered me such comfort when I have needed it most. Faith tells me that Beth was greeted with just as much love on the other side as she was sent home with. Scott, Heidi and I send our love and deepest sympathy."
