re: Remembering Bethany And Her Family.

Happy Mothers Day.

Wish you were here.

Happy mothers day mama! We all miss you.

I thought about you so much last night. I got pulled over for a sobriety test after going out with my friends, of course i know better and didn't even have sip of alcohol.

While i was irritated being pulled over, i was proud that the police officer thanked and told me how much he appreciated me making sure my friends got home safely.

My friend also swore she'd never drink and drive again (she does unfortunately) and I'm glad she got a reality check, even if it meant an inconvenience for me.

I love you and i am doing what i can to make sure this wont happen to anyone else.

Happy Mother's Day mama! I hope you're having a beautiful day with your girls in heaven. We miss you!

happy mother's day momma...I looked up to you so much as a mom...I admired you as a mom....you were beautiful in so many ways...

I wish I would have been able to tell you how much I admired you for everythign you did for the kids...and your family.


happy mothers day love.

Happy Mother's Day Bethany!
We love you, and miss you so much!

Bethany, I didn't know you extremely well...but I remember always looking forward to your new belly shots as your pregnancy progressed!  You always looked so happy and proud of that bump, and believe it or not, it made me feel even more happy and excited about my own pregnancy to see another woman embrace it.  When Mike & I moved we didn't have internet access for SO LONG, and sometime in March I checked BG for the first time in forever at my mom's house...I was actually poking around to see if I could find the familiar faces, yours being one of them, so I could see how everyone that I remembered was doing and what their precious babies looked like.  I was shocked, sad, and angry all at once when I saw what had happened to you and your family.  I have thought a lot about it over the past couple months.  Even though you and I did not  know each other very well, you and your children represent every single one of us, because such a tragedy can happen any time and any place to anyone.  It is so scary to think abotu th at, even in the abstract, but when someone that you know is in the situation it just makes it REAL.  

I have to say, when I read that you and your children had died, part of me wondered if my Adison had a few more angels looking down on her when she was sick.  I know that the mother in you would do anything to protect any child, and I truly do believe in guardian angels.  Adison is much better now, and I am so very thankful for that fact, but I also feel tremendous guilt over being the mom that got to keep her baby.  I guess I shouldn't feel that way, but maybe it's normal?  

Enough about me and my family, and back to you and your darlings.  You have touched so many people's lives...and I hope changed some for the better.  It was unfair that you have to be "the example", you should be at home with your husband and kids.  I hope and pray that someday your husband and surviving children, as well as other family and friends, will find a way to make sense of your death.  You and your family and other loved ones are on my mind every day.  You have influenced more people than you know.  You are the kind of mommy that every woman hopes she can become.  As cliche and probably cheesy as it may be, God really did need another angel, and heaven is lucky to have you.  
Love and Prayers,
Merideth

i miss you mama. thought about you today <3

Bethany... I talk about you all the time... and everytime I do, I still get chills... I mention you everytime that I explain to people why I am a proud member of MADD. Working in a bar, it's hard to try and regulate who is driving and who isn't, but I try. I try my best to prevent what happened to you from happening again. Although I understand that no one can ever fully prevent anything from happening, and that this tragedy will unfortunately happen again... at least I can say I am doing my part...

You really were one of a kind. My gosh you were funny. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face, even now.

There are a lot of people still missing you lady.


Hope you are reading this.

Bless you and your family, you are missed so much here hon.

god, I can't believe you've been gone for 5 months. Vadie would be getting teefers with all our bebes and driving you nutsy with the drool.  There isn;t a day that goes by that I don't think about you guys. There is a big hole where you used to be. I won't ever be able to fill it. I love you guys.

that made me cry... and i dont even know who she is...

I never knew her, but in the last 2 days upon reading this topic, I've read all the news and saw her Gaga site....It really breaks my heart that an entire family was ripped apart... People she never even knew will shed tears for her and her children, and her memory will stay alive through the ones she has touched. For those of you who DID know her, you are lucky, as I never got the opportunity. But even then, I'll always remember her and her story...
