  1. Fish Creek WITo Beth’s Family:

    When Beth was the manager of the Heritage House she and my mother, Orphie English, became good friends. She arranged at least 2 different bus tours to casinos where she and Mom would spend a night together in a motel. It was a wonderful friendship and although Mom was several years older they had a wonderful relationship. Mom is now in Grafton @ the Lutheran Sunset Home. She is 98 so unable to travel but she would have liked very much to have been at the service for your mother.

    Beth was a good friend to our family and several times would run an errand for my Mom. She will be missed by all who knew her.

    We are sorry for your loss and are shocked to hear that she passed away at such a young age. I had called her a few months ago to ask her if she wanted to drive to Grafton to visit Mom but she felt her back was too bad to travel.

    From the English Family (Sheila English Cadwallader)

  2. Tuscaloosa ALNette, It is times like these when we depend on our Lord to bring us through and He will. Never lose sight of His glorious picture. He is on His throne and serves us today as we serve Him. My prayer is that you and your family take joy knowing your mother is with the one Creator our Lord. May the peace of our Lord be upon your family during these days.
