Bethany was taken too soon just shy of her 18th birthday and less than a month from her high school graduation, but as our Good Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ knows the perfect time to take one of His lambs into His care, and one of those lambs was Bethany. Sometimes our Good Shepherd must take His little lambs into His care that we feel that He's taken too soon, but I believe that sometimes heaven needs teen girls as lambs to grow and prosper in our heavenly Father's pasture. And that perfect lamb was Bethany.

Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I am still alive
I'm the sunlight sparkling on the grains of wheat
I'm the cool ocean breeze in the summer's dense heat
I'm as free as the wind that makes the leaves quiver
And as alive as the water that rushes down the river
So do not miss me
Because I was never gone
I'm with you like the stars
That shine until dawn
So please
Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I have not died

Rick and Gale and Precious Lauren, I am just so sorry for your loss of sweet Bethany. I will always remember her joyful dancing spirit the last time we were together at Chris Tomlin. I love you all, and lift your entire family up to the Lord.

I remember that sunny day when I took that picture of Bethany by the pond you have in the photo gallery. I will forever miss her smile, her presence that would fill up the room and her clever sense of humor. I am deeply saddened at this time but know that our Lord has her in His loving arms and she is truly home. I'm praying that God will deeply touch her family left behind. Betsy Calendo

Your smile, your grace, that look upon your face, is what will be missed by oh so many.
We'll never see that face again, or be ever so lucky to touch your skin.
For God placed his hand upon your head, and tucked you quietly into bed.
Our hearts will mourn forever for you, as flowers are covered with morning dew.
We will find comfort in prayers to our Lord as we know it is he, who holds you once more.
Rest in Peace our Sweet Bethany............
