I will never forget my “twin” Beth Stafford. We shared so much time together as we worked together at Trinity Lutheran Church. We shared a birthday…..same day, month and year ! I was born in Michigan and of course Beth in UK. My sympathy to each and everyone of you in the loss of your loved one. I’m sure you all have special memories that you will cherish.

Love and prayers of comfort and peace to each of you. Beth and I became friends in Savannah Newcomers Club, 1970s. She shared many talents with all who knew her: cooking, arts and crafts, singing and keen sense of humor. Thanks, dear Beth for precious memories! Love, Shirley
