Beth Putman was my aunt and one of the beautiful people I have ever known. She made everyone feel like they were the most special person in the world and she lit up every room she walked in. I am so grateful she is not pain anymore but we will all miss her so much. I know my Uncle Don has been waiting to be reunited for a long time and I’m so grateful they are together again. Beth, I love you with all my heart and I will miss you dearly. Elizabeth, John and Alex, my heart breaks for you. All three of you have been the most amazing children anyone could have and you took such amazing care of her with such grace and composure. Rest In Peace Beth and I love you.
Beth was a class act in every way, so smart, so kind, with integrity and loyalty and compassion. The world is less without her. Her beautiful children will continue her legacy. Rest in peace dear friend.
