In memory of
Elizabeth Kerstetter
From Pam Resch
heart
Beth, I miss you so much. You fought so hard with everything you had and maintained such a hopeful, positive attitude, always sharing love, smiles and a sense of humor through some of the scariest of times. God called you home and you were ready to go, but your courage, love and precious memories live forever in the hearts of many. We love and miss you. Fly high with the angels and thank you for sharing the signs that you are okay in God's loving arms, to always believe and never give up.
