Message from Your sister

Hey there gorgeous, tomorrow is Christmas, I wanted to let you know that we miss you so badly. We gathered together yesterday, it is never the same without you and daddy.
The weather has been warm, we may get some snow soon tho. It would be nice to see snow.
Kalissa is at a friend's house tonight, can you believe she is almost 18? I remember ypu , mom, dad, and Justin coming up to see her when she was a newbirnin this same apartment, doesn't seem that long ago. She would have grown to love you as much as I did, she talks about you often.
We all miss and love you so much honey. I'm going to write Granny Kate and probably get some sleep. I love you little sis.....

Hey gorgeous, I'm so sorry I wanted to write on your birthday but to be honest, it's hard honey, even now, it hurts, I miss you so bad. I have two Chinese lanterns, thought it would be nice to set them iff fir you and dad with the rest of the family. We done that a couple years ago on Pine Mountain. We set off some pink and blue balloons and wrote messages on them, we watched them until they were no longer visible.
It is pretty cold now, suppose to be around 15 degrees tonight, snow soon maybe.. I love the snow, hoping to be in New York next year, would like to see the snow there, even if it's just for a visit.
I put my tree up last night, I had an ornament with your picture in it, I put it out every year.
I love you honey and I will write again soon...miss you so so much.

Hey sweetie, it's been a while since I have written on here I kniw. But that doesn't mean you haven't been on my mind.
We had Thanksgiving yesterday, there were 13 people there we met at my friend Karnes house, you'd like her, she's funny. Mom,Justin, Bubby,Linda, Kalissa, Ivan and his baby, David, Tay, and their three boys came. You would love your little beohews, Damien, Colt, and Draco, and I kniw they would have loved you.
It's getting cooler now, I'm glad, I enjoy the cool weather. Tomorrow is your birthday, sure would enjoy spending it with you, I'd bake you a cake and we'd celebrate with the family.
We miss you so much Bethanie, still hard to accept tge fact you aren't here with us. It never gets easier. I'm going to post on dad's obituary, then granny Kate's.. I love you sis more than you will ever know.. we all miss you unbearably...I'll write again soon...

Message from your sister

Hey, my precious sister, today is the day you left us a couple years ago, it doesn't seem real. We miss you so much, I couldn't imagine the pain that mom and Justin are feeling, they were with you the whole time, along with dad, and God. Bethanie, I still feel horrible that I didn't make it on time. I honestly tried. I wanted to take you, and the rest of the family to the Old Town Grill in Tennessee, mom said that was your favorite place. I was going to surprise you but got to you too late. I know you knew I loved you, but it still hurts. I was looking at my memories today on face book and noticed a post mom had made, she was telling about you laying in the bed a hospice and that she told you I was coming and asked if you knew and you moved your finger, then she asked if you knew that I love you and once again you moved your finger. I could never apologize for being away from you enough, I am so sorry. I love you Beth, we all do, and we miss you so bad. You will always be in our thoughts and our hearts my sweet sister.

This is so hard to have to talk to you in this way. I know to some it may seem a bit strange, but I find comfort in this, being able to feel like we have that little bit of communication. Oh, how I wish I could hug your neck and tell you how much I love you. It hurts so terribly bad. You were my only sister and my first best friend, I think of you so often, I will always remember our times together, and your smile that lit up any room. You were very special. I love you .

Message from your sister

Hey little sis, just wanted to let you know that you have been on my mind alot today. I sure do miss you but I know that i am not the only one. We all miss and love you so much. Christmas is almost here, and it makes it hard knowing you wont be with us, time doesn't make your absence any easier.
Well, they say it may snow in a few days, I know you loved the snow. David came up for Thanksgiving along with Tay and the boys, he has three now, yeap all boys, and they are so precious. They are Damien, Colt, and Draco. They would have loved you sweetie. Justin is doing well, mom has alot of trouble out of her legs, but she is strong and puls through, Bubby is just as silly as ever, and Kalissa and the girls are doing well. Copper, my little dog is sleeping beside me, he is the sweetest little thing, you would have liked him. I done pretty good this semester in college, I am hoping to graduate next year. Well, my sweet little sis, I love you, I am going to write to dad then Granny Kate. I miss you so so much. I love you honey.

Hey beautiful, well we had our Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Kalissa, Izzy, Emily, Justin, Mom, Bubby, Linda, Ivan, and Ivans baby came. Alos, David and his family came too, I was so happy to see them, he has three boys now, Damien, Colt, and Draco, they look like him. We missed you, dad, and Granny Kate. It sure is different without yous here. Mom, the girls, and I went to Knoxville to visit Auntie Mary Ann and Dolly, she had her little girl with her, mom cried when she remembered it being your birthday. It's still so hard to realize you are gone, it hurts so bad. I would love to hug you and tell you how much I love you. When I think of you, I smile because of the precious memories you left with us.. I miss you my sweet sister and love you always. I will write again, always in my heart.

Hey beautiful, just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and that we all miss you. Your laugh would always cheer us up when we were having a bad day, I could really use one of your corny jokes lol. But more than then that I could use a hug from you. You were not my only sister, you were my best friend, I know I had a bad way of h=showing it, but it's true. I am sorry for all the time lost between us. I beat myself up about that more than you would ever know. I wish I hadn't taken time for granted. I miss you, we all do and we love you so much, your absence could never change that.

Well, I wrote you but apparently I put it on the wrong thing. Just wanted to say we love and miss you deeply, the holidays weren't the same this year. Without you ,dad, and Granny Kate, plus alot going on. The girls are all good, they are growing, and so is Copper. Michelle brought some balloons to set off for your birthday but they deflated, Im sorry...
But you were surely in our thoughts...
The weather is really warm, last year it was so cold and snowing but this year it has been warm but rainy. But not going to complain about that..we are Blessed to have this weather.
Well, I will write again soon, and just because I skip a time of writing please know you are still in my thoughts and we love you so so very much.

Message from your sister

One week from today we will be celebrating Thanksgiving, but at the same time, it will be a sad day, you, dad, and Granny Kate aren't here to celebrate it with us...also, Thursday is your birthday. We are planning on letting off some balloons. I am thankful that we have special memories of you all so that we can sit around and talk about them. It does help a little, but you all's absence is extremely hard.
I know how much you all would love coming to my house for Thanksgiving, how you would always come in with a smile, you'd always give me a big hug and pat me on the back....telling me how good everything smelled...
We are surely going to miss you sweet girl, I love you Bethanie, and I am going to try and gets pics to post on here of your balloons
Love you.....

Hey beautiful, just thought 'd take a moment to tell you that we miss you so much. I still don't understand why, but, I have realized that it isn't for us to always understand the things of this world. I know you enjoyed life, you didn't want to leave us, and if I had a choice, I would have traded places with you. I get so upset at times because I feel there was so much more for us to do. We never got to do all the sister things, and that hurts me. I was always too busy or something, I should have put family first, I waisted so much time on foolishness....and for that, I am sorry....I love you and miss you beyond any words.

Well, I wrote you a bit ago but for some reason it didn't post. Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you, and how we all miss and love you much.
The girls and I are in Massachusetts, I have to admit, I miss home. Kalissa starts high school this year, hard to believe she has grown so fast. Everyone is doing well, just trying to make it without you and dad, it's a very difficult thing to do.Never gets easier.
We had Alga a small birthday gathering before we left, it was nice just very hot. This year is already half over, seems like time flies when you're older lol.
Going to try and bring mom up to Providence in the Fall, so she can see Eva..that will be good for her.
Well baby, I e gotta go, I'll write again soon, I love you and miss you, we all do.

Hey gorgeous, just thought I'd write to let you know what has been going on. Uncle Jim passed away, we went to his services in Tennessee on Saturday. It was a beautiful service but brought back sad memories of you and dad's services. Mom took me and the girls.
Anyway, it's been raining all day and cold. I don't mind tho, as long as I'm not walking in it.
The girls are doing well and the rest of the family are as well. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Mom came to spend the night last night, we sure miss you and dad coming. We miss and love yous all so much.
Well, I just wrote uncle Jim, dad, you, and now I'm going to write Granny Kate. I love you honey and miss you more than anyone could imagine...we all do

Hey sweetie, well, we had Granny Kate's memorial service today at Bradshaw hills Baptist Church. It was real nice. It was hard tho.
We went to the grave site and just let her ashes go there where James is burried. I think we all agree that she would have wanted it that way.
Well, tomorrow is Easter, I am excited, just because it is such a wonderful , meaningful day. God has been so good to us.
We sure do miss you and dad, being there today brought back memories of you and dad. It's been hard without yous and now Granny.
We will make it through, we have God and we have each other , everyone is supportive if one another , that helps.
I'll admit, we are all a bit disfunctional but one thing for sure, we love one another. And we sure love you and miss you. I'll write soon.

Message from Your sister

Hey beautiful, just been thinking of you, just wrote to dad. Sad news, Granny Kate passed away on the 26th . It's been difficult, losing you, dad, and Granny. We sure do miss and love yous. I was going through some papers of Granny's and found Roscoe's certificate, she named him, Roscoe Baldwin...
Easter will be here soon, what an amazing day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord.
Man, I miss you, holidays are still great with everyone but you, you always made us laugh. You always bragged on my cooking...
We love and miss you so much sis....I will write again soon...

Message from Your sis

Well, Bethanie, the past couple days have been rough. With dad passing, it's made life really difficult, almost unbearable. To be honest with you, it bring up memories of when you left us. These two sad events are by far the hardest things we've had to Dave. I believe alot of sads illness came after you left, him and mom miss you so much. We all do, but mom and them were always with you. You have no idea on what an impact you placed upon so many people...
I think of you so often, thinking of the time you ride the stick horse, and how we would play Church at night when we were little. Your smile always brightened the room. Jackie and I were talking about you yesterday, how you would hug him and wait for me to say, " stop it Beer, get away from him."...he's been here for support , but no, we never got back together....but that's all good, were still friends.
Kalissa talks about you so much, she loved you as we all did...she's almost out the fifth grade already...
Mom's doing well, except dad's passing, I worry about her, wish she'd move in with us. Bubby and Linda are doing good, he's a nut..lol..Alga writes often, he may be getting out in a year or two, if I'm not mistaken...Justin is doing good, he's at Mom's right now...we put him as your brother on tour obituary, he is more like a brother to you. And Kate, well, she's Kate...lol but she's well...
I gave dad a dog, his name is BoBo, he was sweet but then he change, he's mean lol...oh, I moved from Rhode Island, wanted to be closer to family...
Bethanie, I love you, I miss you, we all do....
Don't think for a moment that we forget about you, you are a piece if each of our hearts...
I don't think I will ever be able to forgive myself for not coming to be by your side in time sis...please know I am sorry....
We love you, I will write again soon.....dance at the feet if Jesus....I know it's beautiful up there...I look up at the sky and think of you....and what you're doing up there....Although I'd love to hug you and look at you and talk to you I wouldn't want you here in pain like you was...if I could have I would have taken your pain and put it on myself...not a second of a thought....but you are in a new body , you'll never grow old, and you are with Jesus, how awesome is that !!??
I love you sweet sister....

Hey sis, I want you to know something, even though I have thought it, Prayed it, ect...it just seems like this way you will see what I need to say...Bethanie, I am so sorry I didn't make it in time to be by your side, I am so sorry I didn't get to hold your hand and tell you how much I love you and how proud of you I was. To be honest, I thought we had a little longer, I guess it wasn't a part of God's plans to let you be here hurting any longer. I tried, I tried so hard, I need you to know this. We knew you were suffering, so to ask for more time would have been wring, but all we needed was a little while longer. I just wanted to let you know I cared and I love you.
I think of the times we had together, we were sisters, you were my only sister....I should have done more with you, I should have taken you places, but I was so caught up in my own little world, and I am sorry, I have so many regrets....but when you would stay at my house we would have fun and so many laughs....you riding the stick horse, the mud slides, I was reminded if you holding Kalissa as a baby, I tell her stories of you often....
I am proud of you, I am honored to call you my sister, and you are a hero to so many, including myself...God Blessed us with you....
Please forgive me for not being there with you, it wasn't anything you done, it was the travel took so long. Even though I wanted you to be ok when I arrived, I didn't want you to suffer any longer.... I miss you and love you so much sis......Dance at the feet of Jesus.....

Message from Michele Bretz

Bethanie, yesterday made a year you went to your new home. Everyone is coping , it's not easy, but we are now focusing on rejoicing with you one sweet day when the Lord decided to call for us. Mom and dad miss you greatly, they are doing ok, mom is tired, I can see it in her more and more, dad isn't well at all...Bubby, well, Bubby is crazy as ever, him and Linda miss you...I sent Alga pictures the other day, mom said he got them...Kate is still just plain old Kate....she hugged Kalissa one day, Kalissa said ," hey Granny Kate, you shaved!"... She reminds me of you , she's such a kidder...She is doing well, she has a dance coming up, she's real excited about that. As for myself ?, I had a job at a nearby gas station, I quit, we have two kittens, Oreo and Miracle...I'm doing well, miss you, we all do...I go to Church and sometimes hang out with Kiefer...Holidays and dinners sure aren't the same without you, we carry on, because we know you would want us to....you are always here with us, in our hearts, thoughts, and memories....we talk about silly things you use to do or say, always had us laughing....we miss and love you sweet sister....

Bethanie, time hasn't made your absence any easier. It has been difficult losing such a beautiful person, an amazing sister..I wanted to let you know I tried so hard to be there by your side, I live with so much hurt, anger, and regret that I wasn't there. I am so sorry I didn't do more, when we talked on the phone just days before you left us, I wish I could bring those times back so we could talk longer. Although you were sick most your life, and we didn't do slot if things other sisters did, I want you to know I wouldn't have changed it for the world, except for you to be better. You were the best sister anyone could ever ask for, no one could even come close to you. You had the biggest heart and was so special to everyone who was Blessed enough to had met you. I miss you so much Bethanie and I love you more than you will ever know...we never argued, except for when we were kids, so thankfully there's no regrets there, the only regret is not being there for you and God knows I'm so sorry..I would have traded places with you without a second thought...but knowing you are with the Lord and in no more pain has helped all of us make it through...we will be united one day sweet sister, I love you so much...

I will come to where you are one day. You enjoy your new body now. Now you can walk, you can dance and you can enjoy the rest of eternity with Jesus and loved ones who have passed before you. I will always love you. Mom

I only have a few faint memory's of being around Beth. Even though I wasn't a big part of her life and didn't get to know her, I feel regret for not getting to. I had been thinking of coming to see her for the last few weeks. I'm sorry Beth.

Bethanie, it is difficult to let you go as you were my only sister, my friend, my hero. I will always carry a part of you in my heart. I know you are dancing at the feet of Jesus....I will never forget you, you have given me much more to look forward to, and that is to be rejoiced with you one day...I love you more than words could express.....fly high my beautiful sister, rest in the arms of the Lord, and save me a spot in Heaven...
