re: For the BGMADD myspace...

Bethany,

You and I only came across each others post briefly and barely ever talked. I will miss you though. I remember when all I did was post rants about mike, and out of all of those stupid posts, your reply still stands out the most. You laid it out straight, black and white, no tip toeing across your point. You just gave it to me straight. Thats what i will always remember you for, your up front, strong and very wise opinions, advice, suggestions, no matter what it was, you always seemed so strong to me. It was like you knew exactly what life was all about and could see right through any BS out there and werent afraid to call it like it was. You did that for me. You saw right through my BS and thinking back on your response to my mikes rants, youve given me more strength then i remember having and I now have that to fall back on when I leave mike. Youve made me a stronger person and I couldnt thank you enough for that. I cant think of a better gift you could have given someone in your short time here. Im going to miss you and seeing updated pics of the kiddos. Im just at a loss of what to say. You and I werent close, but my heart aches right now like i lost a best friend. You will be missed by all.

RIP Griffin family
and i pray that the rest of the family pulls through and makes a perfect recovery.

Bethany and family,
I can't even express how sorry that I am for you to have to experience what you did and for your girls too! I didn't know you but from logging in here everyday I feel like I know all of the ladies on here, and I do remember you and all of your beautiful childeren. From what I understand from all of the other ladies that do know you pretty well, you were a wonderful mother, wife, friend, and a pal to everybody on here! You gave great advice that I won't ever forget. God just gained himself some amazing angels!! Shine brightly down, and share your smile with the world through the rays of the sun! I know how truly missed that you will be! God bless you Bethany and your little girls! I pray for your family!

Love, Rachel, Frank, and baby Noah

Bump......

Bethany,

May you and your beautiful children rest in peace.

Bethany,

You were an amazing Mother, Wife , Woman and friend! I will never forget the honest answers and loving help from you. You would lend support or put us in our place and I loved that about you, you will be deeply missed!

Chasity and Family

Bethany ~ there are no words that do this tragedy justice. All I can say is thanks for the memories I have of you and all of your insightful answers to my..."I'm a new Mommy again" rants and raves!And thanks for your humor and wit that made it all sound so fun and easy! The several short months that I have known you were definitelty way too short and have made me open my own eyes as to just where I am at in my own life. The world would be blessed with more people like you in it. God bless you and your family. And may those that are missing you find some kind of peace and comfort in the tough months ahead. ~ Lori

Bethany,
I miss you. So much. I keep expecting to see a post from you. You gave me some of the best advice ever for being a mom--"Tell your children you love them everyday. You never know when you won't get the chance again." I have used that advice, everyday.

My words fail me. My heart is hurting. I pray that you and your entire family find peace.

Bethany,

Even though I never got the honor of knowing you in person, you have taught me one very important thing. Cherish every moment of life.

And I thank you for that.

Love always,
Jen

Bethany,
You were such a treasured member of BabyGaga and are missed very much. I didnt get the chance to talk to you all that often, but when I did you were always very sweet to me, even when I was in a depressed mood... I'll never forget the pics you posted of Vadie's coming home outfit and about how you wanted to be surprised but she wanted you to know that she was a girl so bad she stayed spread eagle for your ultrasound... I was reading through some of your old posts and couldn't help but laugh at the post about not liking colored icicle lights, or people staring at you cause you were pregnant, and remembering that adorable pic of Brett with Vadie that you posted back in November... Bethany, I miss you so much... I wish I had talked to you more, but I read alot of your posts and considered you a friend... You were a amazing mom and friend. I hope you and your family find peace... RIP....

Bethany,
You are truly missed and love very much. You had a great sense of humor and you loved your kids so much . I am so sorry you were taken away from us so young . May god brace your family and hold them tight.

Love ,
Jennifer Ignatz

Bethany,
I never really talked to you, but I know you were a wonderful woman, wife and mother. I will never forget coming across a thread titled, "Isit racist?" At first I didn't know what to think, but when I opened it I couldn't help but laugh. Inside was"if I only like the white icicle lights and not the colored ones?". I wish I could have gotten to know you. You seemed so full of life.

Now, my heart hurts for your family, but it helps to know that you are in a better place. I hope you knew how much you mean to your baby-gaga family. If you could only see how much you touched each of our lives. Even those of us you hadn't talked much with. Your family is amazing and I pray that they stay strong through all of this. You are all in my prayers. R.I.P. Bethany and her little angels.

Love,
Kellie

I have updated everyones letters, keep them coming girls, letters for Danny and the other survivors would be a good idea, to let them know we are here, and we are praying for them!!!

Bethany~

We rarely talked but I loved reading your posts and seeing all of the love and care you put into raising your children. You had a beautiful family and it is so devastating to me that this happened. Words can not explain how much your story has touched me and my family, we will never be the same. You will be greatly missed here at Baby Gaga, but rest assure you will never be forgotten. You or your four precious baby angels.

Your family and friends are in my prayers and thoughts daily.

Rest In Peace,
Danielle

Bethany,
I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to chat with you through BG. I enjoyed sharing a due date with you, eventhough you got to have Vadie 9 days before Cashew. I'm not bitter about it anymore. I also LOOOOVED all the Ravens talk with you- it was great to talk to a fellow fanatic, because as we both know, Ravens fans are rare outside of MD.
In all seriousness, though. You were an amazingly strong woman who went out of her way to try to help her e-friends as well as e-strangers. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the suggestions offered by you and Porsche, I probably would have given up on breastfeeding.
It is devastating what happened to you and your precious babies, but I hope that you did not die in vain. It takes my breath away everytime in sign on AIM and your screen name is still signed in. But I know I will be even more upset when you sign-off for good. You will be greatly missed both IRL and online- especially on BG. I miss you, Bethany, may you rest in peace!
