Bethann, you were the best sister in the world. I miss you so bad I cant stand it. We did everything together our whole lives and now you are gone and I am lost without you. You were everything to me sis. I would do anything in this world to bring you back, or atleast give you one last hug and tell you I love you one last time. I will think about you everyday until the day we are reunited. You were too perfect to be on this earth, you are in Heaven now being the angel that you are. I love you so much Bethann! I know your an angel now! Love always - your big bro - Jawn

Bethann, you are one of my best friends sisters and are a sister to me, I could never think of you as anything else. I am sorry we never got to spend more time together than what we did but the times we shared were great. I miss you and would love to get to talk to you again. I can't be here for John like you were but with some help I'm sure he will do just fine ;-). - Dave

i met bethann two and a half years ago at the zaguarsky's house for the 4th of july. her cousin justin is my best friend and he brought me along for the vacation to meet the rest of his family. then this past summer i went on another family vacation with the Zagurasky's and Hovey's to Wilmington NC for a week. besides the fact that it was the most fun i've ever had with any group of people anywhere, i got to know one of the nicest, coolest and most real girls in the world, bethann. we had some long nights of chillin on the deck and playing cards with the family, and talking about how exciting her cousin's wedding is going to be. bethann is a wonderful person and i have never connected so much with someone in a single week as i did with her.

I will never forget just seeing her and that huge constant smile, and then just hearing her voice, it could always put me in a good mood.

Bethann is not only my cousin but she is a sister to me. I have had the Privilege of watching her grow up to become such a beautiful person inside and out. She meant so much to so many people, I am so proud of her. The feeling of not being able to see her again will hurt me forever. I have shared so many great memories with Bethann,I will cherish all of them forever. Vacations, holidays, visits and life in general will never be the same without her. Bethann,I am so sorry for what happened. I would do anything to bring you back. I love you and miss you so much. I know you are in a better place and I will never stop loving you or thinking about you.

Bethann, words cannot describe the happiness you have brought me over the years. You were the most out-going, caring, goofball girl i ever knew, and could always bring a smile to anyones face that ever knew ya. None of us understand why you were taken away from us, when in our minds u still had so much to accomplish, but I know God must have needed a sweet angel like u up there for some reason. And, i kno your doin important stuff up there :) I just wish I coulda hugged u one last time, or told u how happy U've made me since John made us meet. I do love u so so so much B Zags! Thank u so much for always bein so good to me. I really cant wait to see u, and especially hear that laugh again! Love always... L Binz :)

Bethann..where do I even start? You were, and still are, my bestest friend in the whole entire world. I don't know what I'm going to do without you, we were inseperable, especially over summer we like lived together, and I can't believe you were taken without being able to say goodbye. There is NOTHING in this world I wouldn't do to bring you back, even if it was just for one minute, for one last hug. I just thank God for all the times we had together, cuz they were the best times of my life, especially our 5 vacations together.. I love you Bethann more than anything, you were/are the bestest friend a gurl could ask for.. I miss you soo much! We all know your an angel now and your in a much better place..

Bethann was a wonderful person who was always able to make you smile. She was teh type of person to say she was mad but never really be able to stay mad very long. If it wasnt for her older brother John i would have never met this young girl who brought so much cheer into everyones life. Bethann you are missed by many.

I met Bethann in 11th grade Chem class. I wish i would have met her sooner because she was the most outgoing and friendly person I have ever met. It brings a smile to my face everytime I think of all the moments in Ms. A's class last year. We drove her nuts and even though she got mad once in a while she still loved every minute of it! I'll never forget how pumped up you were when out of no where you gave me the nickname Mike-Fike-Attiudike. It was always fun being around you, class was never boring. Like everyone else, I will miss you but I will always re-live the memories. WE ARE, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, LIKE THIS _____! you know what I'm talking about ;)

Bethann, words cannot express my emotions right now...I cannot imagine life without you! You were like my lil sis and I am happy that I became so close with you when I got the chance. I grew to love you SO much...it was impossible not to because you were the sweetest girl ever. You had such a kind heart~ you couldn't stand to see someone's feelings hurt. You were the most energetic person I knew and you had such a passion for life. The sound of your voice and laugh are constantly running through my mind. I cannot recall one memory with you when you didn't make me smile! You always had me laughing and in a good mood! We had so many good times together, and I will NEVER forget them. Please watch over your loving family Bethann~ I know how close you were with all of them. You and your brother had a relationship like one I have never seen before. It amazed me...you were more than brother and sister, more than best friends...you are soulmates. I will never forget the time you sent him a text message from the beach that said "I miss you so much Jawn, and I love you more than life itself!" That's just the kind of person you were~ and I miss you so much!!! You will still always be "MY GIRL"! Not a moment goes by where I don't think of you Bethann...I know that you are the sweetest angel above. I love you with all my heart! Love, JACQ

Bethann was like my big sister.I loved her sooo much.I was 6 years younger than her but I had alot of fun with her.I knew her since I was born.Nobody will ever know What I'd do just to take one more look at her face,hear or voice,or do anything with her just one more time.I remember we made a bet one time and if I lost I had to clean her room.Well,I lost.She made me sweep her room.I did but we got in trouble because I sucked her rug,phone cord,and the sweeper cord up.She always new fashion and she loved to match stuff,like the first day of school she flipped out on me because I wore navy blue tennis shoes with a skirt instead of sandels.I loved her soooooo much.I always will.And I'd say atleast 15 times this year I made her bed when she wanted to go somewhere.I have so many more memories with her and I will never forget her.BETHANN-I loved you so much and I forever will.Nothing will ever change that.You'll always be like my big sister and you know I'll never forget you.I love you Lots-*Gina Marie*-

U were one in a million sweetheart and no one can or ever will replace your spirit and the special place you hold in my heart. i feel so lost without and the sun doesnt shine as bright now that you are not here, but God had bigger plans for you and you did what you had to here on earth. You have touched so many hearts and lives that your memory will be eternal. there arent enough words in the world to describe what u meant to me. The 11 of us have a relationship that everyone admires and together we can get thru this life now without you. You were that encouraging word when i needed it most, and you were that light when my world was in the dark, i love you so much Angel, and i miss you more every day...see you when it is my time, I Love You Beef, God Bless You... :'( all my love, Krista

Bethann.. I can*t even believe this. I knew you since kindergarden, and we had so much fun together.. you were always there for me, no matter what was going on. Trying to pull me out of my shy little shell, making me laugh, and just listening to me when I was having one of my little freak-outs. We were such good friends up through 9th grade, and though the past couple years we sort of went our separate ways, you still always made time to hang out with me in the halls, and that meant more to me than you*ll know. It almost hurts to go to my locker now, as I know you aren*t going to be 3 lockers down, filling this world with your laughter. I couldn*t possibly ever forget you, and everything that you did for me in the 12 years I knew you. I love you, Betha!!

Bethann was my best friend in the entire world. If you know me then you know that cause it was always in my profile. I always remember Bethann being mad at me for stupid little things all the time and then one day she told me that she was always just pretending to be mad just to get back at me because she can't really stay mad for more than five minutes. The one thign she said to me the most was "I can't take you Brandon" and she said it all the time. If I wrote about all the memories I have with her I could fill up a book because everything she did was a memory. One thing I remember was over the summer when she wouldnt talk to me for a week or two when she forgave me for it we both agreed that everytime we talked to eachother on the phone whenever we hung up we should always say I love you because you never know what could happen. Well I'm really glad we did that because I love her more than words can explain. I miss you Bethann and I love you so much.

This year was the first year I started talkin to Bethann, she was in my 8th period Foods Class and sat at my table. The first time I walked in there after switchin my schedule she offered for me to sit at her table. I started talkin to her every day in there, and sometimes before class I would walk to the end of the hall to meet her so we could walk to class together. She always had a smile on her face and thats the way Ill always remember her, she was the sweetest person I have ever met, she never had a bad word about anything or anyone. When I'd be mad about something she would notice and just smile and say dont worry it'll all be alright. Bethann you were to perfect to be here on Earth and thats why you were taken so early, I know now that your in a better place and your smiling over all of us, I'll never forget you. I miss you and its just not the same here without you. RIP babe

I knew Bethann a lot shorter than many of you knew her. I met her through the family I am about to become a part of, the Hovey's. I guess I have known Bethann and the Zaguraskys 3 and a half years or so,but I knew right away-as soon as i got to know her cousin Johnna, my future wife, that she was very much loved, and a very special young lady. It wasn't like I heard something every 6 months about her. It was all the time....Bethann did this.Barb said Bethann is going to do that.She was always present in my house 6 or 800 miles away! There are tons of pictures here so that Johnna would always have her close by.....I think she still is. I got to know her better as time passed and the Zagurasky's vacationed at Wrightsville Beach, NC where Johnna and I now live,and she was always the life of the party. I think she liked it down here a lot.The beach complimented her;we all got bronzed from the sun,Bethann got prettier. (can't say much for the rest of us....)She was beautiful.All of my friends(i'm 25) would say as they walked around in my house-"who's that girl in the picture" before Johnna would yell at them,"she's only 17!!" I'm rambling on but I do know this. She was taken untimely,without a doubt.We have to believe God knew what he was doing even though we hate what we are left to deal with--it is not for any of us to decide or question.I know she loved so much,and I know she was loved in return even more.I know that by the unprecedented outpouring of respect and love I witnessed first hand.The Zagurasky's and the rest of the family need all the support they can get from those who care.No one can imagine what they are going through,but I know she is in a better place now, and she would only want the best for all of us- because that's how Bethann was..... Love You

Where do I even begin, I have had the pleasure to know Bethann pratically my whole life, at least since John and I were in elementary school together. She was such an awesome person to be around, just to hear her voice made me smile. She had such a kind heart and always had a beautiful smile on her face. It does not seem that long ago that we were playing mario cart at my house or just hanging out in there basement. I would do anything to have one more of those moments that may have been stupid then but do not seem so stupid now. Even though we all grew apart over the years, and went our separate ways, Bethann still was always and will always be a little sister to me. Bethann had a unbelieveable bond with her entire family and that bond will never be broken. I know she is in a better place and is watching over her family. Life was twisted upside down that morning that God called Bethann home but she now is an angel watching over us. I am looking forward to seeing her smiling face again, until we meet again..I love you Bethann and will think about you always.

Princess Bethann, I do not know where to begin and I promised John I would not write a book. No amount of words or actions can describe the tremondous loss myself and others around me are suffering. You were the ever burning "sparkler" in our family. Your presence was always known whether it be your beautiful smile, your silly laugh, your unique voice and your ongoing energy. How boring its going to be without all the "Bethann Stories". I've started to journal them, they were so entertaining. You loved life and the people around you. When I was back home I looked to see you come bouncing through the door or bouncing out the door. I long to hear you say "Aunt Joyce" The hole in my heart wiil never mend. Our family was blessed with all our great times. Your memory will stay alive with me always. I will be forever changed without you. Please help us be strong. I know you are above watching. We need your strength. I truly believe you were the strongest of all. Forever in my heart and soul, I Love You Aunt Joyce P.S. I'll so miss your fashion shows

I'll never forget when you'd be at Bethis's house and u guys would come up to see me. I'll never forget when you played softball for us and u got on base you were so excited. There was also the time we went pumpkin smashing-you were so into the stealth mode. Last year in Camando Lando's class you always made me laugh. I will miss you so much Bethann. I hope heaven treats ya good babe. Watch over us, especially ur best friends they miss you tons as well as everyone else. Can't wait to meet u again some day up in that great big sky! Thank you for all the great memories I'll never forget them! Thanks for the rainbow also. We all know it was you smiling down on us telling us your ok. Keep an eye on Luke and Candace too.

Never have I known such a lively young lady. And I know the bullfrog that jumped into the canoe with Laurel & Bethann at Camp Henry Kaufman had to feel the same way, even though they were at least six feet from shore, when the frog jumped in, Bethann & Laurel squeeled & jumped out still squeeling and trying to get to dry land, that poor frog just sat there stunned til we went out after the canoe. I think he finally recovered enough to jump out. So glad I kinda forced her to go on that trip. My life has been blessed just knowing Bethann for the last 13 years.

Bethann, I can't even begin to say how much I miss you. I know you are the most beautiful angel in Heaven watching over us all, and that helps, but I still can't even explain how I wish I could see you one more time..hear your voice which I know now is the voice of the most beautiful angel, see that little smiley face you made before we went anywhere in the mirror when youo checked to see how you looked and you always looked beautiful..and you always will. We met in elementry school, you were my very first friend. You taught me the true meaning way back then and most definately now what a true friend is. You have taught me so much in such a short amount of time and I know that you will help us all out, watching over us, until we will all meet again because you were so caring and compassionate. I have never met someone like you before and I know I never will. You have touched so many lives, and you have definately impacted mine in a way that I will never forget. I would like to thank you for all that you have taught me and just let you know that I love you, I always have no matter what, and always will. Rest in peace Bethann, I know I will see you again, but until then I love you sooo much and miss you eternally. You will forever be in my heart. I love you.

After looking at the photos of her and reading the memories of everyone who was close to Bethann, I realize that she was a stunningly beautiful girl, full of life. She was very lucky to have so many people who cared about her, for not many people are fortunate enough to have as many people care about them as Bethann did. Many people don't have as many friends in their whole lives as Bethann did in just 17 years. I pray that she lives on through all of your memories of her.

And if I had had a bad day, suddenly it wasn't so bad. Because she was bound and determined to make it better. Oh, Bethann, I miss you so. Your presence is always lurking just to the side of all my thoughts. Your Dad is right. You fulfilled your mission. Your joy and happiness touched everyone you knew - and even those you did not know but who knew you.

Well Bethann....your Dad has been waiting for us to sign in...but you leaving us so suddenly has left us speechless...it is hard to even start a sentence.....We have so many fond and funny memories of you, but one of the earliest is when you were about 5...asking for a candlelit bubblebath...Remember when you were my helper at my babyshower? Anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new kid in the neighborhood..then came Gina...your "little sister" to fix up...and that you did mascara and all...GINA ADORES YOU! When a girlfriend would come over she always wanted them to meet you to show you off!! She loved all the attention you gave her...THANKS....and valued your input on fashion...Most don't realize you were the only 2 "girlies" in our neighborhood and Gina has alot of fun memories because of you to cherish...sledriding,bonfires,making her 4th grade halloween party a hit,pool volleyball..i think we're winning right? THANKS for letting her be a part of your life when it was time for you to get all dressed up and look so beautiful for the dances..that made her feel so special!!! I'm going to miss your mom calling me with a new story...We have alot of memories that will always keep you alive in our minds and hearts...I truly believe, somehow...someway...you will give your family the strength they need.

My wonderful sister Bethann, I have been having a hard time sleeping at night, So i wanted to post. I want you to know that Mom,Dad and I miss you so terribly. Things will never be the same without you around sis. You were always there for a good laugh when everyone was down, and always there to energize the family. It gets harder and harder to walk past your room and not see you sittin on your chair, typing away on the internet. It gets even harder realizing we arent going to have our fun and crazy times anymore that most brothers and sisters dont even share. We always had so much fun together. We did everything together Bethann and my heart has shattered into a million pieces with out you. We shared the most special relationship ever Bethann, we had a bond which was inseperable. I want to thank you for that and the uncondtional love that we had for each other no matter what. I am a lost person in this dreary world now sis. I want you to know you will always be the best sister in the world, and I promise to tell you everything like I always have, and I know you'll listen. I am going to miss your stories though ;(. I love you with all my heart, we all do. Mom, Dad and I will unconditionally love you forever, and never will one memory of your special life leave any of our sides. I know you are happy in Heaven my angel. Love forever Your big bro - jawn

I wrote a letter/poem to Bethann and gave it to her mother. She set it up in her coffin, that ment alot to me, I hope Bethann read it somehow. You can read an exact copy of the letter in my sub-profile on AIM. I didn't know about the magnolia out side her window. That's amazing, and comforting at the same time. I get chills thinking about it. By the way, thanks to her family who sent me the card thanking me for my letter. I glad I could give you some comfort during these tragic times.

Remembering You Your time on earth seemed all too brief because I wanted you in my life forever. And although I really miss you, in my heart I know that you are at peace. Still, countless times throughout the day I find myself remembering you. Although I cannot see or hear you, I know that you are with me. I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun. I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves. You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall and rejoice with me at the emergence of the first flowers of spring. I'm thankful for the times we shared and the priceless memories too; for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly - Remember You.

Dear Bethann...How greatly you will be missed. God must have a good reason for making you an angel so soon. Someone down here needs to be taken care of and I guess that you were chosen to do that for Him. You were a beauty on earth and I am sure that you are the prettiest angel in heaven. We love you.

How many times have I cried for your passing but smiled at the memories in my heart of your laughter, love of life and beauty. My first memory of you, giving us a preview of an upcoming dance show, your spice and sassiness, your confidence ever showing. You had the ability to make everyone feel happy and you shared your heart with those who needed lifting and you gave light to those that felt lonely. Such a little girl, such a beautiful young lady, never leaving the closeness and protectivenss of your family but reaching out to make your way. Daddy's girl, mom's best friend and a brother's soulmate, we all will have to keep your special meaning in the locket of our hearts. Bethann, you have gone from us here but we know you are close in our prayers. love you Helen and Cole

Bethann, What a surprise it was when you came here for a visit. I turned around and there you were in the hallway with your smile. Little did we know that you were making a lasting visit with us all. Yet now it seems so clear how fate steered you into our lives for one final time. It was a time that left its imprint, not only of your image, but a signature smile and a touch of your soul. We will always miss you. Love, Mary

Bethann, I only met you once or twice, but you were one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I remember when I met you, you made me feel welcome. You were an outgoing girl who had nothing but nice things to say. You were willing to make a new friend. I didn't know you well at all but reading about you I can tell how loved you are and how greatly missed you will be. I'm upset that we didnt get the chance or time to become friends. You had so much more to give. Even though we only met a couple times I will never forget you.

Bethann truely was a special person. She was one of the most sweetest and kindest individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know. Everytime I saw Bethann she was always in the best mood and had a huge smile on her face. Not only did she always have a smile on her face but she always brought countless smiles to the faces of those around her. Bethann had such a kind heart. Her kindness and love touched so many. I never EVER saw her being mean or hurting another individual. That just was not in her nature. She had such a wonderful spirit and was so full of life. Bethann was such a beautiful person both inside and out. I remember being at the beach with Garrett this past August and hearing that unmistakable voice that no one could ever hate and me turning around to see that beautiful smile of hers. If I had the chance I would thank her for always being so kind and outgoing towards me and for always making me feel welcomed when I was around her. I am so incredibly thankful for the memories I have of her. I will cherish them forever! Bethann truely was one in a million. I will think of her always. My thought and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.

I'm writing here because I wish so much that Bethann was still here. Unlike everyone else who wrote though, it's because I never had the chance to be friends with her, and she's a girl who seems so wonderful. My relationship with Bethann consisted mostly of fighting, over petty little things that seem soooo ridiculous now. It’s hard to believe that such meaningless fighting could stand in the way of two people being friends, and now all i feel is guilt because i never got the chance to know her. I can see she was an amazing person who i probably would have loved had i been mature enough to forgot all the insignificant differences. I missed out on an amazing friend. She was so innocent, and since she is an angel now, I know without doubt that her lovable, gorgeous and sweet self is at peace. Her precious soul is soaring and I can only imagine her in heaven with Candace and the many others, but that doesn’t console my regret over never apologizing to her. As i think about our new angels, i realize how much bethann has taught me ... she's taught me lessons in maturity and forgiveness, and im so grateful for that. I only wish she was here and i could hear that cute little voice, so i could say the things i should have said before ... i am so genuinely sorry, babe. God bless your cherished spirit! You are so missed!! To everyone else…PLEASE realize how agonizing it is to have things end on bad terms. I feel extreme guilt every time I think about the last things I said to Bethann. Make peace now with everyone you love, because you will realize when someone is gone that you truly did love them and cherished their life, whether you realized it during their life or not. To Bethann’s family, I extend my deepest empathy to you, and I pray that you all pull through strongly – your daughter/sister/cousin/niece/angel was beautiful on this earth and still is in heaven, because everyone there will appreciate such a caring, loving, and pretty addition to the Kingdom.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Wasn't it only yesterday that you were a little child? How swifly the years go by. God's word tells us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We have this promise and we know that one day, when He returns, He will return Bethann's spirit to her newly glorified body. We cannot begin to understand why Bethann was chosen to go away. Lives, who were so close to her, will forever be changed because she is no longer with them in her body. She touched so many people in so many positive ways and always made herself a blessing to someone else. I am Tom DeNome's mother in law, living in Virginia. My sweet Bethann, you were deeply loved on this earth. Your beautiful spirit and love continue today, and will be with us unto the end. Thank you for the magnolia bloom and the rainbow!! Love, MA

I knew Bethann from the Hovey's who are my next door neighbors. I saw Bethann every holiday that her and her family would come down and I even spent time with her at her own home. Bethann was wonderful girl with a beautiful personality. Her smile and laugh would lighten up any room and anyone's day. Its sad to have her taken away at such a tender age, but God stillhas great plans for such a beautiful soul. She will greatly be missed in my heart.

I would just like to take this opportunity to appologize to Bethann for all the times we've faught. We used to talk when she was in 10th grade, then the summer after that, there was a few things that went on that made us not like each other anymore. I wish I could go back and appologize to her for every wrong thing that I ever said to her, but I can't. I hope that now since you are in heaven you realize that all the problems between us were only over jealousy. It is a shame we could not look past that, and I am sorry I was not more mature about things. You were a wonderful person, probably one of the best to walk down here... but now that you are up there above us, I hope you find a new destination to fulfill your new journey. Once more, I'm sorry for the lost words and the moments of anger, rest in peace<3

I only met Bethann briefly but through all the stories her mother has told me I feel like I have known her a long time. How, in only 17 years, a young lady can touch so many lives in such a positive way is a great tribute to the family she came from. Johnny, Barb, and John my heart aches for your loss. I read a poem the other day and I would like to share it. When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow through the years, but start out bravely with a gallant smile, and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your lonliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways, reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. We part with our loved ones but not forever if we trust God's promise and doubt it never.

My thoughts have been with your family since this tragedy. Although I didn't have the opportunity to know Bethann, I feel like I've learned a lot about her and your family. You all should feel comfort in the fact that you shared so much of your feelings with each other. You should have a feeling of peace in that sense. How many of us would probably have 'regrets' because we didn't express our love for one another like we should have. You all seemed to be so open with one another. Let Bethann's memory help you to live again. She would want that for you...because she loved you all so much. Let her see how strong you can be because of her strong spirit. She'll guide you along the way. LIVE for her. LIVE for each other. You need one another now more than ever. We are all praying for you. God Bless You All !

Well.. it was a month ago today you departed from this Earth Bethann. You cant even imagine how many lives you have touched, and more people realize it with each day that passes. So many people adore you and think about you every single day. There is no other in this world like you. Nobody with your words of encouragement you would give all the time, your smile so bright and golden, and your hugs so warm. I don't think I will ever meet anyone as silly as you... that would turn my day upside down when I was upset about something. I think thats what bothers me the most. There isn't a soul in this world that was as goofy as you that could make me laugh just at the thought of your grin or one of your funny comments that would make no sense at all. lol. I'd give anything to see you sneak out of Landys class to come and talk to us in Mr. Feicks room again. I miss all of your dramatic stories and your advice you would give me. I hope you realize how many people love u B Zags. You always made everyone feel so good about themselves. You had the best heart a human body could ever own. I don't think there was ever a dull moment when you were with me. There was 24/7 giggling when you were around. I'll never forget a while back forget when I would tell u what to say online to all ur lil boyfriends during your "boycrazy phase".. to just this past school year in aerobics and workin in the office together. Our last time together was international villege, and I hugged you when i dropped u off and u wished me the best of luck at school, and soon u were going to come visit me :( Well I know your here with me everyday. Im just glad we kept in touch over the phone after that too. I am so lucky to have had such an awesome person in my life. I miss you so so so much and I love you girl.

I saw Bethann a lot less regularly than many of you who have written here. I would see her at family functions or the occasional times when Johnny and/or Barb would stop at our house for something or we would stop at theirs – probably more so when she was a little girl than in her high school years. But on the times that I did see her, she never had anything but a bright smile and a polite hello and bright greeting. I knew her still better because she and Barb and John would go to church with my wife (who is Johnny’s cousin) and my daughter and I would hear news about her and John from them. I now know much more about her life and character from all of you who have written here and from the events of the last few weeks. It’s plain that she brought light into the lives of all of you and left her mark on her world. It’s also plain that her family – mother, father, brother, uncles, aunts, and cousins – had much to do with the way she lived her life. I hope you can all take comfort in that fact – that she was raised well, lived a good life, and was a person of good character and a remarkable young lady. In the short time she was here, she left a lasting impression on everyone she knew.

Your presence here with us had an impact on so many people, and their is an emptiness here without you. Your beautiful smile and passion for life is deeply missed by so many people. Not a single second goes by that you are not thought of by so many. I have so many memories of you as we were growing up together, it hurts that the memories are all that I have left. Over the years we may not have been as close, but I always had a love and respect for you like you were my little sister and would have done anything for you. I will carry your memory forever in my heart. I love and miss you more than I could ever say! You will forever be in my thoughts...Can't wait for the day I see you again.

Bethann, Its been a little over a month now since youve been gone. There hasnt been a single day that I havent thought about you. Being back in Wilmington last week made me think of you even more. Thank you for the shooting star and the rainbow you gave your brother and the signs youve given to everyone else. We know that you are safe and always looking in. Last week in NC, Jamie played me a cd that had a strong effect on me. The song, "A Friends Blues" just made me think about you alot so I just wanted to write down the verse that I thought reflected your memory. --We came togther like family, like it was our first death, unexpected, so quick, so sudden, the worst yet. Didnt get to know the girl 10 years after her first breath, still we loved her like a sister as there for her first steps. Got the call out of town, so alone I first wept, Deep pain in the same place from where this verse crept. Never slept in that bed again, The memory was too tragic, looked up and screamed "goodbye" Knew you wouldnt be present at the wake, in your casket, now you ask if things changed since you left, not really, We still playing games, B.S.ing, acting silly(see, she dont talk to her and she dont like me) and will we work things out, thats not likely, I mean where will we start, do we mend friendships or let things fall apart. Will we still be in touch, honestly I dont know but you're in my heart forever! ...And this frienship, that I value The most like Kindship The ones we hold close and dear we fear the most of losing but keep true and the memories ruined cause life keeps moving

The first time I met you will always stick in my mind. It was at the prom and you had on that beautiful white dress. You looked like an angel. I introduced myself and then I heard your voice. I'll never forget it. I can still hear it. I not only loved the sound of your voice but also the kind words you always said to me. I love you Bethann. Watch over us. P.S. Thanks for the giant sundae

Bethann, well its been a little over a month since you were taken from us, and I truly hate life without you.. I feel so alone and so empty without you here next to me like you ALWAYS were. Nothing is or ever will be the same without you here with us to go out, nothing is fun anymore, we just sit here and wonder why this had to happen to you?? You are on my mind every second of the day, I'm always thinking about what you would be doing right then or what we would be talking about. I still have not let myself believe that this is for real and that its not a dream. Every time my phone rings, or someone comes to my house, or I hear someone sign online, I pray that it is you coming back to say that you're here and everything will go back to being perfect again like it used to be. But I know that you are way too perfect to be here on earth still, you were always an angel who was sent here on a mission and now that you've completed that, you belong back in heaven. Every little thing that happens somehow reminds me of you, or something that we have done together. You were the bestest friend that a gurl could ever ask for, you were way more than that, you were a sister to me.. and like Sir said tonite, I can gladly say that my best friend was also an angel cuz thats what you were, and I know now that you are thee most gorgeous angel in heaven. You still are my best friend Bethann, I'm going to keep you with me forever, I just wish that I could be able to hear you talk back or see you or be able to hug you one more time. I miss you more than anything in this world babe, I wish that there was someway that I could get you back because we all need and want you here. I am soo thankful for everything that you have done for me and especially for you showing me what true friendship is. I thank God for all the times we've had over the years, I will remember them as long as I live, thinking about them and how we were always laughing about stupid stuff, like telling Marc he has "pneumacalatosis" a "KTD" lol, these are what's getting me through the pain. All I know is that each passing day is just one day closer to when I get to see you again, and I cannot wait till that day comes. Until then, please watch over me, the 9 other girls, and especially Barb Sir and John I love you Bethann with all of my heart, you'll always be my best friend, my beautiful Angel!

Bethann... My head is pounding... I cant sleep.. And i feel sick in my stomach.. Its times like this in the middle of the night that id come to your room and wake you up. Now... I cant, So im left sitting here lonely, looking at the wall, and missing you terribly and thinking about you non stop. I wish so badly that i could turn back the hands of time my sis, Everyday is a struggle now. I wish more then anything that you could still be here, And i could walk down that hallway right now to wake you up to sit and talk with me.

I wish that I too could add to all of the wonderful memories that Bethann left behind, but I can't because I never took the time to get to know her. That is something that I deeply regret because it looks like I have missed out on knowing one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. My heart goes out to her family and friends, but be comforted to know that she is with God now.

I only hope that her family remains strong and supportive of each other in this hard time, because each and every one of you know that Bethann is smiling down upon you.

John, Barb and John, I have only learned today of this web page from Fr. George and have decided to sit down and write to you. Let me begin by saying that that you are always in our prayers. How we all anguish that we could find the words to bring comfort to you in this time of your grieving. There are few among us who can fathom your loss. I recently attended a lecture as part of my classes at which Fr. Michael Dahulich spoke on the topic, “Our role in God’s Plan.” At the beginning he related a story from his own life of how years ago he had lost his bride of only 29 days who was 21 years of age. I thought immediately of you and listened intently knowing that this was a man who surely knew the pain that you are feeling. He told us that he ultimately found peace in knowing that it was the quality of her life rather than the quantity of her life in which God had seen it befitting to call her to eternal life in His Kingdom. I believe that this is the case with Bethann and pray that you may find some small measure of comfort in knowing that our Lord has seen the quality of her life and called her also to eternal life in His Kingdom. It is the understanding of our Orthodox Church that those who go blameless in their youth unto the Lord are numbered among the Saints and stand in the presence of Christ who glorified them. Along with the choirs of angels they pray to God for us. I did not know Bethann personally except to see you together in church. But I feel that our community is blessed to have had in our midst one who intercedes for us before Christ our God. I personally was drawn to the words found in John 11:35 which simply say, “ Jesus wept.” It is from the account of the death of Jesus’ friend Lazarus. Our Lord in His fully human nature wept at His friend’s death. I simply can only offer that all of us at your parish community have wept and continue to weep with you. I have no profound words of comfort to offer you. How I long that I did. We do not fully understand God’s divine plan for our salvation. I can only share with you that by the Grace of the Holy Spirit that at my father’s passing He has mercifully called me to return to His Holy Church after I had turned my back on Him for much of my life. Since that time I have prayed this prayer for my family and myself and I continue to pray it for you and all among us who struggle to understand. It is simply that our Lord Jesus Christ will, “Look down upon those of us who mourn and grieve and transform the sorrow of our hearts into the joy and salvation of His resurrection.” On behalf of all the faithful of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary parish I share with you the words of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Philippians: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Please know that you are continually in all our prayers and we look forward to you joining us once again soon. Yours in Christ, Sub-deacon David

Dear Bethann. Our family misses you very much. I remember the first time I saw your smiling face. It was the kindergarten classroom - you ran up and gave your mom a big hug and "I love you". What a sweet girl and beautiful mom I thought to myself. Later we were together many times - parties, girl scouts, shopping and just hanging out. You were like a sister to Jill and Leah. You ALWAYS took time to make Leah feel extra special - dressing her up, doing her hair and makeup, teaching her dances and just talking to her. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and your family. We love you "Our Beautiful Angel Bethann". Love, Suzy

betha.. it*s almost been six weeks. i just keep counting the days, as if it means anything. i just miss you so much.. esspecially now. halloween will always remind me of you. everytime i go to a haunted house or talk about one, i always think of you.. that first time at castle blood with you and jyll, you were so scared, and i just kept laughing. and just yesterday i was talking about old girl scouts stuff with a few people, and i just kept thinking about you. everytime i walk into my room, there*s that little collage i made.. your beautiful face beaming back at me. everytime i go to my locker, there*s yours, covered in pictures and poems. every morning, i put that necklace on that i first put on the day you died, trying to put all of my pain into one tiny little crystal. it seems like you*re everywhere lately.. like, when i see someone from behind, and for a split second think it*s you before i realize it couldn*t be. i just want to be sleeping now, but i just keep thinking.. so, as always, i*m talking to you. hoping you hear, even though you*ve got so many other more important people to watch over. but i know some tiny part of you must be watching over me, as you always made time for me when you were here.. i luv you betha.

Jacki has a good friend at school named Shannon and I have found comfort in talking to her since she is going through the same thing as I am. Unfortunately her brother passed away a little over a week before Bethann did. She sent me a poem that was read at her Brothers funeral and I wanted to post it here. Hopefully some of you will find comfort in it: Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way you always used Laugh as we always laughed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; There is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner All is well Nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before Only better, infinitely happier And Forever we will be one together with Christ. I love you more then life itself Bethann. No one can ever feel the pain i feel, or know how bad I miss you. I love you so much.

I was reading some poems today and found this one. I thought of Bethann instantly when I read it. You'll Find Me There If ever you have sensed me near, Yet doubted it could be, Thinking it impossible, That rainbow might be me. See, I'm the whisper of the wind, I didn't ever leave, In fact my presence emanates, If you will just believe! That song that resonates your mind Is one I sing for you, Oh Mommy, please, rely on faith, There's so much I can do. At times you loathe the days that rain, In anguish you lament, It seems the sun but dimly shines, The flowers have no scent. Now Daddy, it's okay to cry, I've watched you hold it in, Please know that I adore you so, We'll all be joined again. And as you hold my Mommy's hand, And share this grief you bear, Just picture me, gaze in Her eyes, I swear you'll find me there!

I will never forget my first sleepover at Bethann's house! I've never felt so happy to be around a bunch of girls who were fun and always had a good time no matter where they went. First we started out with 8 girls in the crew and as the year passed we added 3 more. We did everything together and everyone had to be together where ever we went. I will never forget doing Bethann's hair for when we went out with the girls or the Homecoming dance. She would always ask me to do her hair or make-up, or borrow my clothes. You are part of the 11 girls forever and I will never forget you. I know in my heart you will always be with me in the future and look in on me from time to time. You are our guardian angel. I love you! 10 girls + an angel= 11 friends for life.

Bethann were do I begin...? You and I were friends since first grade. We were always together weither it was girl scouts or just hanging out at your house. But in fourth grade that all changed when I moved to North Carolina. You threw a birthday/good-bye party for me and you gave me a music box that was engraved,"Best Friends Forever, Bethann." The song it plays is Memories, who would have ever thought that would be the only thing I have left. I'm sooo sorry that we didnt keep better in touch, but I have always considered you to be one of my best friends. I'm just sorry I didn't tell you before. It was so hard to say good-bye to you when I was just moving several states away and you'll never understand how hard it is know that your gone. I'll keep your family in my prayers! Until we meet agian I hope you know that I love you. Amanda

Bethann- It's been over a month since you were taken from us, and I can finally think of what to write in here. I think I was on this site about a billion times before I could actually post something on here. I kept thinking, how could I sum up my memories with you on here? I cant. There were so many and I know you and I will never forget. And I know that you're listening to my prayers to you everynight. I thought things would get easier, but they seem to get worse as the days go by. I miss you so much BZAGS and I love you, but in my heart I know you are doing just fine up there, because you keep sending us signs, since you're our ANGEL now.

I wish I could have gotten to know her better, but even the few times I shared with her are memories I will cherish forever. My heart goes out to John, and all her family and friends. I won't ever forget the last time I saw you, I drove you home from because you didn't have a ride. And all you kept doing was apologizing for how far out of the way it was. You, like everyone has already said about you, always had a smile on you face and could make ANYONE happy. I know you're looking down on us from heaven like so many friends we've lost along the way, and I know eventually we'll all be together ONE SWEET DAY! You are now a gorgeous ANGEL from above Bethann and you're memory will live on forever. <3 Melissa

Bethann, I can not believe you are gone. You left us much to soon. I have known you for some time now and we were pretty close. I always loved to see you. You always had something interesting in store for me. I remember helping you find your classes when you first came to the high school. And riding you and John home from school. I will never forget our health class together. No matter how boring it was, I knew I could always turn around and see you smiling, or making a face at me. After, we used to wait on Kristin and Sean when they came from Gym and we would hold up the wall. I will never forget all of our double dates w/ them, and our long talks about them, and how they drove us crazy. You were an amazing person, and you were incredibly special to me. I never would have thought you would leave us so soon. But I know you were chosen for a reason. You are needed more where you are now. So I will say my good bye to you, but I know you are not gone. I can feel you watching out for me, and I can feel the strength you give me in my heart. You were my friend, and always will be. I thank you for what you gave me, and I miss you dearly. May peace be with you, and please never stop smiling, because your smile brightens our lives more now than ever.

Today,I bought this beautiful antique frame to put a picture of you in it.It is very unique and sparkles, just like your smile. It has been very hard for everyone since you have been gone, but all the signs you have sent to us have been comforting.I know you were with us in NC.The sky in the evening was a beautiful rainbow...& I remember seeing butterflies everywhere, and Johnna saying that there are never all these butterflies down here. Then we went sailing on the boat,and I said to Johnna and Ashley "look a butterfly!" As we sailed,there was a beautiful butterfly flying next to the boat, as if you were sailing with us. Seeing that and all the other signs lets me know you are okay. I know you are a beautiful angel up in heaven doing many wonderful things.Please watch over us, and keep sending us all your beautiful signs.I love you very much Bethann, and you are always in my heart.Love, Christy Lou Lou

We talked about things durring Mr.Raymer's social studies class, and I helped her in Ms. Anderson's Algebra 3 class last year. At the beging of my senior year, I didn't really talk to her anymore because I rarely saw her. On that Friday, I was in the hall and saw her and Seth Simon and took a picture of them together and I spoke to her for the 1st time in months. I asked her what she was doing that night and she told me about the football game and other stuff she wanted to do. The last thing I said to her was "be careful, and don't do anything stupid". I guess I'll never forget those words. I feel as if I could have done more, but I couldn't. I pray for the families and friends of Bethann and Candace and I know that one day we will all be together again. I hope that everyone will now understand that life is short, to stay close to those who love you, always trust in God, and always be kind to people because you never know when they'll be gone for good. I love everyone and to everyone out there, live life to the extent, but be careful. **Heather**

I didn't know Beth Ann at all by by looking at this website, I feel Like I do. I can tell she was very loved and loved so many, that she was a sweetheart that made so many people happy. She was VERY BEAUTIFUL and seems like she had a sort of glow on her face all the time. My heart goes out to the family and friends of her, I know people say that with time everything will be okay, but this is something that seems to be getting harder day by day. Everyone please stay strong and be there for each other. Also, remember they are still here with us everyday!

I didn't know Bethann, But after reading all these entries, I realize how special she must have been to everyone. I'm so sorry that her family and friends had to go through such a tragic loss but I can promise each and everyone of you that she's in a better place now. She's probably watching down right now, smiling because she finally knows how many lives shes touched and changed. & It's great to see that even people like me that didnt even know her..truely know how special she must have been. Once again..Im sorry you all had to go through such a tragedy but she'll always be with you, not in body but by spirit. You're all in my heart and in my prayers..God Bless.

Even to this day it seems like all of this is one big nightmare....i know bethann is now in a better place, a place that is without pain or suffering,but, what about this place. Bethann always made the best of any situation.....there wasnt a single time that i had ever seen Bethann without a smile on her face and a bag of laughs in her back pocket....She was the type of girl who brightened up a room when she walked in....Her laugh made u smile and her smile made u warm....thats,in a nutshell, how i can best describe her. Jon, youve been one of my friends since middle school....all i can say to you is stay strong....i know if Bethann were here right now she would want you to be the best you can absolutely be at all times. You and Bethann had a relationship that most people wont have for their entire lives. Hold on to the memories for eternity, like i know you will.

Bethann, I miss you so much! We barely talked during high school but I knew you since we were in kindegarden and I loved hanging out with you. I will never forget when you had that halloween party when we were little and your brother scared us with a chainsaw. We had so much fun! Remember when I had a crush on John when I was in 3rd grade? I love you so much and I wish you didn't have to leave us. I always think of you and I will always love you! I miss you so badly. I wish God can bring you back. When I listen to songs, I cry because it makes me think of you! Why did you have to leave us? It's not fair! Bethann was so beautiful and fun to be around. She could always make you smile just by looking at her big bright smile! She wasn't that kind of person that would talk about anybody. It didn't matter if they weren't popular or not she would still talk to them. She was the kind of person that would make you laugh so hard that you would pee your pants. I loved those days! She was nice to everyone and anyone! She is so beautiful and I don't think she had to leave us. She didn't even drink one beer and look where it took her? IT'S NOT FAIR!! Bethann, always remember that I love you and I'm always thinking about you! And I hope to God, that everybody will learn not to drink and drive and not to speed and to wear their seatbelts! PLEASE!! She is our Angel and now we have to take care of her! She would be saying the same thing right now! Please where your seatbelts! I LOVE YOU BETHANN!!!!! WE MISS YOU TOOOO!!!!!!

Bethann, I was just thinking about how we always told each other "I don't know what I would do without you" and now unfortunately I do know what it's like but I wish more than ever that I didn't. These past 2 months have been the worst ever. I miss you so much.. it just seems like things will never get better. I miss everything about you, all the little things especially.. our talks, sleep overs, calling each other before school, messin with Marc real bad online, playing dress-up, sharing clothes, school in astro and english, your dramatic stories, shopping, going out to eat, your voice and laugh, your hugs, your funny obsessions, Myrtle Beach next summer, but I won't go without you.. There’s way too many memories to count. Chloe told me to think of it not as a lifetime without you but as an eternity together again and its comforting to know that we'll be together again forever one day but I can't stand to think that it could be another 60 years before then without my best friend. I do know though that when I do see you again, it will be one of the best days of my life, I can't wait. Everything that happens reminds me of you, every song I hear, and every place I go somehow relates back to you and makes us miss you more than ever. Things definitely are not the same without you, nothing is as fun as it used to be cuz when you were there you always made things a billion times better. All I can do is thank God for all the memories I have to hold onto cuz every single one of them replays through my mind 24-7. You're my best friend Bethann, and also our Angel. NO ONE will ever compare to you. I would do anything in the world to get you back.. I Love You and I miss you soooooooo much! ;o(
