Marybeth- my cousin for 75yrs. Marybeth - a person with a caring heart, honesty, modesty, deep faith, devotion, sincerity, generosity and love. She gave of herself selflessly to her parents, her sister, her husband and children, relatives and friends. A person to be honored and admired. I will miss her, though she’s forever in my heart and mind.
