Laura and family , I’m so sorry for your loss . My prayers are with each of you .
I loved Beth, as well as Arlen! She was such a delight,! Love, hugs, and prayers to the family!!!
I have known Beth since Laura and I were friends in middle school and all through High school. I was always welcome in their home. Laura sweet friend, she is with your dad and Jesus. Can you just imagine the welcome home she received. You and Lee have taken amazing care of your mom. You and I both know it is not goodbye, but see you at supper.
We were so sorry to hear about the passing of beth we have been her neighbors for about 6years she was all ways very sweet
We have had the blessing of knowing Beth for 25 years or She was the Most loving person we have ever known. She never had an ill word to say PERIOD. If you knew her she loved you. She saw the world through Jesus’ eyes. We had so many good times with Beth and Arlen. We all went to Red River one time and Beth and Sherri had the ground squirrels coming in the sliding door in to our condo. We were always eating together. Beth was such a good cook. We could write a book. We will miss you so much, but we will see you soon.
To the Landes Family,
Please accept my condolences upon the loss of Mrs. Griggs. May the Good Lord give you peace during this difficult time.
Respectfully,
Don E. Williams
She will be missed. She was a great lover of Jesus and of her family and friends. She is now with Jesus and Arlen and is no more pain and is no longer suffering. Prayers to the family. We love you all so much!
