    I am so sorry to hear this, I knew Bethany well since I worked with her before they had their first child, I sent her a text yesterday telling her that I was going to pass by Mississippi today and maybe just pass by her house and say hi from my truck. This really breaks my heart.
    Prayers to the family

    Sending plenty of prayers of comfort to Bethany’s family. She was one of the kindest, gentlest souls I have ever met. She became part of our family over the past two years while she cared for my mother. She will always hold a special place in my family’s heart.

    Betty and Ed and family,
    We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Bethany. Even though our families haven’t seen one another in years, we have many fond memories of all of you from the McIlwain and Dyess reunions. Bethany was a precious girl, and though we don’t know her children, we are certain that her beautiful legacy will live in through them. Prayers of comfort, peace, and strength that can only come from our Heavenly Father. We love you all.

    Such a beautiful and precious soul. I loved your beautiful smile. You could light up a room. You had a big heart. I witness this for myself. We had many talks at Crane’s 550/Greyhound. You helped so many people. I witnessed this. You helped me with Greyhound. I could not speak Spanish but you could. You helped so many find their way home. Your love for animals was just like mine. I’m very Thankful I had the pleasure of knowing you. I know you are in the arms of Jesus. Rest In Peace my precious friend. ❤️??

    Bethany was a very special person to me. I taught her art for several years and she was one of the sweetest students I ever taught. She was a ray of sunshine and we were very close back then. I am proud of her accomplishments, but not surprised. I love her and will miss her. I will pray for her family and friends.
