Stoping by to visit and wish you a special Happy Birthday in heaven. What a beautiful Angel you must be. I noticed you are one year older than my Angel Garrett. I am sure you have met, you look as outgoing and friendly as he was. We miss you both so much. Bethany, stay close to your mom today, maybe send some Angel Kisses.

Hi my beautiful girl. I sure miss you. I wish you could come home, but of course I know you can't and I know you are probably so happy you wouldn't want to. But hey a mom can daydream.....Your birthday is coming up....Katie and Josh will come and spend the night and we will all miss you together. Maybe we will watch a Johnny Depp movie or something. Ava is such a little jewel and she may not look a lot like you but she certainly has your personality. She can be so sweet and soft spoken and then she can also be so bossy and demanding. From the living room, I hear a familiar voice ringing out.....Mom!!! Reminds me of another little girl that used to call out to me......I love you, my Beth....I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

Another day here....without you. This last week has seemed especially difficult. I miss our talks, I miss your laugh, I miss the way you pretended to listen to me ramble on about something, but really you were just waiting for you turn to talk....lol. I miss your smile, I miss your voice, I miss everything. I love you. I miss you. I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart....

Your namesake has arrived. Nola Beth joined this big world on May 13, 2008. Mitishia named her after you Bethany. She and Steve love you so much. Well honey, another day without you and my heart is so broken. Love you forever and always. Mom

Well Josh and I are graduating tomorrow. There are so many reasons to be excited and proud...and then I think of the one person who will be missing. I hate that you won't be here. I miss you so much, everyday, but especially on days when I feel like you are missing something important. Then my heart aches, it aches for all the things in my life that you will continue to not be here for. I try so hard to cling to the good memories and all the big things we did get to be together for. There is this hole in my heart, that I feel will never heal. I learn to struggle through, but the hole is still there. I miss you everyday. Ava is growing into such a beautiful young lady. She has so many of your wonderful traits...as well as some of your more frustrating traits too. I love her so much, and she helps us see the sunshine on the cloudiest of days. She wears mom and dad out, but they wouldn't trade a single second. Watch over all of us. Mom and Dad really need to feel that you are here, they need to hear your whispers. I worry so much about them, I worry that they won't live as long as I need them too. I can't lose anyone else. My heart can't bear it. I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

Hi i recieved an email to googel my name, when i did the first website that popped up was this one, it kind of scared me because the email I received told me the email would tell me my future, but as i looked through the pictures and the biography i realized that she must have been a very determined young lady. what you have done with this website is very nice.

I cherish every memory with you and I'll always cherish your friendship.. I went and seen Ava this past Friday night and everytime I see her she always reminds me of you... she's so much like you!! I swear to you that I'll always look out for your family and your daughter.. I Love you Bethany and I miss you everyday....

Hey, Sis. It's your Bob the Tomato. I know I haven't written anything on here. For some reason, I always felt a little weird about it. I talk to you sometimes. I watch over your sister constantly. You would be so proud of her. You should see how excited she gets about things that happen at school. Sometimes, you would think that these students were her own kids. I've been missing you more lately. After the loss of Granny, I feel lost at times, not knowing which direction to turn. Will you tell her hi for me? Tell her that I'm trying to make her proud. Linkin Park came to town recently but I didn't press going to it. I feel like if I went, there would be something missing. You know you were my Linkin Park buddy. Remember, I chose you over my fiance at the time. Everyone still gives me a hard time, but no one did it better than you. You were someone I could fight back with. My equal. I've started looking at things from a photographer's standpoint, but not nearly as good as you yet. Ava is growing up so fast. You wouldn't believe how much she is like you, loud, outspoken, dramatic, etc. Katie and I try to go see her and your parents as much as we can, but school and work prevents us from doing a lot of things. You know, like have a life. I would like to ask you a favor. When we graduate, it will be a bittersweet day. Katie and I will be so excited, but we'll be wishing that you were here on that day. My favor is, just whisper in Katie's ear how proud you are of her. Let her know that you are there. She misses you so much.

I miss you so much Beth. I hate that Ava is growing up without you, but Papa and I are doing our best. Sometimes that doesn't feel like enough so I pray the good Lord will grant us some extra grace in this. I love you my darling girl. I carry your heart......I carry it in my heart......

Mom

03.11.08

There is never a day that goes by that I do not miss you with my whole being. I so hope you are keeping your eye on us. We need to sense your presence. I guess we do in your beautiful little Ava, but I want to feel your spirit oh so close to me. I wish I could smell 'Cool Water' and hug your lanky body. Loneliness is a way of life for all of us now.........I carry your heart....I carry it in MY heart.

Two years. I can't even begin to tell you how unbelievable it is. It feels like so many more years and yet like so few. It is so hard for me to imagine that after spending 23 years together, I will spend the rest of my years without you. I hate that. Too many days without my sweet sister. I hate being an only child. I was made to be the big sister. I need to boss you around some more. I wasn't done telling you what to do. I need you here to make me laugh, to make me smile, to make me mad even. I miss you today on your two year angel date, and every other day in the year. I carry your heart....

I wish that I could talk to you right now so that you can lift me up like you were always good at doing 7 I could really use that right now, I miss our friendship but I am glad that you don't have to feel the pain of the world anymore, for your sake. I love you Beth.

I can't believe its been almost 2 years since you left us.. I miss you so much everyday and i think about you and your smile and your laughter everyday... Last night LA Song By Beth Hart popped in my head and i was really blah and do you know I haven't heard that song since me and you used to listen to it in your car and i put it on my profile on myspace and it made me smile and miss you so very much .. I remember all the talks we had in your parents basement and how you and brian and katie would always say Ryan what in the world are you thinking lol .. I could really use that right now from you!! I remember going to Idaho with you and how much fun we had on the plane!! I remember when you called me and told me you were preg. and calling me and saying IT'S A GIRL and coming to see you at the hospital when ava was born.. I think about you and carry you with me everywhere I go .. I love you

I cannot believe that it will be two years on Feb 22. My heart breaks on a daily basis missing my little sister. I hope you are watching over me. I started student teaching, I feel that I have found my place in life. But as graduation grows near, I know that there will be a face in the crowd that is missing. Josh and I speak of you often, he helps me remember. On the days when I feel like your laugh is so far away I can't even breathe, he brings me back. Thankfully he has lots of funny Beth stuff to help me think of you. Have you seen Mitishia? She is getting all big and fat with Nola Beth. How many kiddos do you think will carry on your name before it's all said and done? So many people love you and want to remember you. There is something about sisterhood. I feel like I walk around everyday with a piece of my heart cut out. I am learning to limp along with that hole, I don't ever want it to close. I love you and miss you desperately. Look in on Mom and Dad, they really need you. I worry so about them. Your little girl is so beautiful, she is you. She has so many of your qualities, even your bad ones...ha ha. WE all love her so much. Missing you. I carry your heart

Bethany, I can't believe it has been two years. I miss you so much and still want you to walk through that door all loaded down with cameras, computers etc. I wish we could lay on the bed and have a long, long talk and a few laughs. Ava is amazing. I hope you are watching over us and if you have any pull with the Lord and his Angels Dad and I need a good long healthy life so we can be here for Ava. Love you so much.....I carry your heart......

Recently I've caught up with some of the old crew from Lighthouse where some I haven't spoken to since and through our conversations it helped me go back to remembering all of the fun that you & your sister & I used to have back then. I think of the time we all went to the lake and did absolutely nothing but left with everything to remember...without my cd's of course. Remembering the days when the 2 of you used to listen to me try and sing along to Tupac, ducking down from the leaves flying at the windshield, lol. I wish I could have been there more for you. I learned through you & your sister the true value of family and have often looked back on your's as always being apart of mine. I know that you had a lot of fun while you were here and I am grateful that I got to be apart of that. I really miss you Bethany, I miss our talks, I miss how you use to run to me when you had no one else to turn to, our antics, but most of all I miss seeing you smile. You were always a good friend to me and that is something I will always hold in my heart. I love you.

Beth, I never had the chance to know you but I had the pleasure of meeting some friends of yours and I have to say it would have been nice to have met you! I went to your benefit concert a few years ago and heard Sans Seraph for the first time and instantly became a fan. I think we would have hit it off immediately. When I met you're friends, you had just passed and to hear your story - it really made me feel for you and your family. You are definately loved by many and even though I didn't have that pleasure of meeting you face to face, your life touched mine somehow. And that is why you are so amazing - even as an angel.

I was just scrolling curiously through the internet, and thought I would see if there were any Bethany Joneses. I saw your beautiful tribute to Bethany, and just thought I would let you know how powerful a story can be. I hope you and Ava Rae continue to treasure good memories of Beth. I was born Bethany Jones in England in 1955. When I was born (near Christmas) my brother called me his little sister Bethlehem! One of my sisters asked if one parent thought of Beth and the other thought of Annie, and they put them both together! I have only once met another Bethany in the flesh, and her name was spelt Bethanie. It is a lovely name, although you do get tired of saying no, not Stephanie, or Beverly, or Melanie! I usually go by Beth since it is easier. Thanks for sharing.

What can I say. I miss you so much. I watched Practical Magic the other day and bawled...I miss having a sister to love, hug, hold, tease, yell at, and even to worry about. There is a girl in one of my classes who looks so much like you....she proabably thinks I like her because I catch myself staring at her, willing it to be you....but it never can be. I get so angry and confused then sad all over again. I just miss you so damn much it hurts. Mom and Dad and Ava came to dinner a couple weeks ago, they saw my wall of Bethany as I call it. It is all pictures of you or taken by you. I look at it and think of you often. Damn Beth, why aren't you here, I need to call you, I need to hug you, touch you, feel your presence. Brit is getting married today, I am sure that you will be there, let her know that you are there and that you love her and are happy for her. sorry I rambled...i had a lot to say...I carry your heart....Katie, sister of Bethany

My beloved one. Today is your 25th birthday. I think of how many birthdays we celebrated together, 23 of them. We has some great parties, gifts, laughs, friends, family, and moments I think any two girls could ask for. We had two wonderful parents who loved us and cared for us no matter what. Today we celebrate you, we honor you, we love you, we miss you. My earliest memory is when you were born, I remember going to the hospital with dad, I wasn't even yet 3, I was so in love with you. I wanted you to be my baby, and I never really learned to share well. I thank you for all the wonderful memories that we created together, and that carry me through each day. I love you....I carry your heart.

Bethany, today is your birthday. We all miss you so much and at times are overpowered by the loneliness. I am grateful today for your birth and that I was blessed to have you to share with the world even though it was for such a short time. Some of your friends came to visit and they remarked how much Ava is like you. She's my princess too. Thank you for your gift to us. Love always and forever...I carry your heart.

We went to Zanies one night and Mitisha, and Myself, and there was a hypnosis show but it was rated xxx but without the nudity! But I volunteered to be hypnotized and made a complete jackass of myself but I also saw so much Love and Laughter in her that night that it will stick with me the rest of my life. I will always Love her and will never,ever forget her or her beautiful charecter there is and will always be only one Bethany Jones. Godbless! Brandon Bowers

Oh Beth...I cannot bear that it has been a whole year...more than that now...each day ticks by, some better than others. Some days I feel so close to you...as if you are whispering in my ear...other days you feel so far away it just makes the lonliness unbearable. I love you and miss you so much...I carry your heart....love your big sis.

2007, the start of a new year. A new year without my Beth. Sometimes when the house is very quiet I can hear Bethany's voice...'Mom'...is the only word I hear, which is oddly comforting. Sometimes she feels close and other times the distance is overwhelming. I will miss you forever Bethany.

Bethany is my sister inlaw. Her sister katie is my brother's wife. I have known them both for a long time. I have always considered them family and when Katie said '' I do '', she made it true. I had sisters for the first time in my life. I have 4 brothers so I have always wanted sisters. Bethany and Katie became my sisters. I could talk to Bethany about anything. I will never forget her. I love her very much. Wayne you did an awesome job on this page. I no Bethany would have loved it. Me and Katie were talking about it the other day. Katie said, ''I bet she is looking down from heaven sayin ' hell yeah! I got a website that's all about me!' '' I believe that. I no she is looking down on us and misses us as much as we miss her.

Spending time with you & your family is one of the most fondest memories that I have of Nashville, I miss you so much Beth, all of the smiles & cries that we shared. I remember the times that you would call me because you were afraid of a decision that you would have to make and you would confide in me and now I find myself doing the same to you now during my prayers. I pray for little Ava and your family every evening with my son and ask that God will continue her growth on the same path that you had set for her. You & your family will always hold a place in my heart my love for you has extended itself to Ava as well so know that I will always be there to help her if she ever needs it the same as I always tried to do for you. I love you and I will continue to pray for you & your family. Joshua McNamara 11/30/2006

I try to hang on to the wonderful memories to remember your laugh, and your sarcastic comments, to remember the pouty lip you gave to get your way. I miss all of you, even the fights, and the days we couldn't stand to be in the same room together. I wish you were here for me to hug you. I wish you could be here to see your girl and how big she is. She is so much like you stubborn, and strong willed, she wants it all her way. Maga and Papa take such wonderful care of her, but she misses you. We all do, it is so hard to know what to say to her. Every minute of everday, with every breathe I take I think of you. You are my heart and I carry you there.

And when we see her again, we will love, laugh, hug, and live again and that will be forever and it will NEVER end. Hold on, hold each other till it comes.

I remember the day she left Mountain Home, and I regret not keeping in touch. However, I have thought about her through the years. I will continue to remember how wonderful of a person she was, and how many people she touched.

First of all I'd really like 2 thank Mr. W Earle 4 this awsome site. What a legacy 4 Ava, it would make a great hard copy book. I didn't know Bethany that well, her family & I shared alot of mutual friends 4 decades, we all came to Nashberg from Idaho. I got 2 watch her & her sister grow up as teens & young women, as they were always @ our western musical get togethers, alot of them hosted by her parents over the yrs, I've got some photos of them I'll set aside 4 the little one. Looking back, I was blessed with an hour of one on one with Bethany a couple of weeks before her passing. It was on the porch @ a recording session of her dad's original band's reunion "TARWATER". I remember thinking @ the time, she'd growen into a really pretty young lady although she looked like a rebelious Preachers daughter, with her studded eyebrow, gothic make up & metal thrasher attire. We talked about her photography & how she'd been working with the local band scene. She was very ecited about it all. I could tell what an influence she was by the attendance @ her Memorial/Benifit for Ava @ the Exit Inn. I later heard she was doing the album cover for the TARWATER REUNION album. She made me flashback 30 yrs to when it was all new & full of hopes & dreams. For such a short life she left alot behind that we will all REMEMBER, Sweet Dreams Bethany, there's still a BIG piece of U here...........................

My first conversation with Bethany was when she donated a photograph to an auction to help raise money for the Hurricane Katrina victims. I looked for the other Nossi College of Art student donors at the event, but found only Bethany and her daughter. She impressed me as being very caring. Later I saw her great sense of humor when she was joking with a classmate as she entered photos in a competition and when I was working with her on job search activities. Bethany was very happy, upbeat and friendly the last time she visited my office. When I think of her, I remember her smile and cheerful demeanor.

Teddy Ray, Janis, Katie, and Ava Raye, I know first hand the loneliness and heartache you feel. How could any of us have known years ago when I visited you in Mountain Home, or spent time at your cabin what lie ahead for either of us. I understand and feel your broken hearts so deeply. I weep with you. I believe Jed and Bethany are somehow communing together, laughing at their memories of each other, and waiting for the time when we are all reunited. In fact, I long for that day. I have this promise – I hope you find comfort in it as well: Truly, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy when you see me again. It will be like a woman experiencing the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives place to joy because she has brought a new person into the world. You have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. John 16:20-22 NLT I love you guys,

I do not know Beth, but the ways she has touch all of your lives compelled me to write. Looking at the pictures she took shows the love and care she had for her art. Pictures like that can only come from the heart of a caring person. I am not really sure what to say. Looking at what everyone has said about times they spent together, and seeing her spirit in her photos made me feel as if I lost someone too.

Bethany was absolutely the sweetest person I've ever known and I will never be able to replace the love I have for her. Beth was the only person that wrote me all the way through the toughest part of my life. The comfort of hearing my name called out during mail-call and seeing Valley Way as the address on the envelope is irreplaceable. Movies in the basement and great New Years parties, plays in highschool, and my first manicure are all pieces I keep locked away. The thing I miss the most is our "porch talks" in the dead of winter. Smoking a cigarette in our socks or barefoot shivering, laughing and talking about whatever we wanted till that cigarette burned out. I will never spend time that will mean more than those talks.

Beth, it only seems like yesterday when we was in highschool together & Drill team. Theres so many memories i have of you that i cherish with everything i have. Theres so many times i want to pick up the phone & call you, just to say hi or ask you for advice. I will soon be a Mother for the 1st time of a baby girl and i'm very excited. I want so many times to call & ask you for advice about becoming a mother. I wasn't around much after you had Ava, but i know you were the best mother ever. My mom came to the yardsale your family had & she got a bunch of Ava's clothes and Oh my they reminded me of you so much. They are so cute and i can't wait to see Brooklyn in them! I have so many pics of you , I sit and look at them and just say to myself this can't be real, it is still hard to comprehend. It's like when i finally get it in my head it's reality , i will go to your webpage or look at your pics and then i find myself askin again, Is this really real? You mean so much to me . You were everything to me during highschool & we drifted apart, went our seperate ways, but i never forgot you or your goofy laugh! I love you & miss you so much Beth!

There is no way to explain the strenght of the bond I felt with Beth from day one. Tonite I was reading thru some of the emails we sent back and forth...and I ran across a quote that made me almost break down. At the time, we had only known each other a few weeks. Yet, I have never felt so close to a new friend so quickly...the bond between us was amazing. Beth and I were almost like mirrors of one another in so, so many ways. I miss that. The quote is in reply to an email I sent Beth not long after i return to full-time business traveling last summer. I said... "...I really wish I was there and we could hang out again. You are awesome and it would be cool to have some more ~b~ in my life. I have enough ~bs~...but i will up the ~b~ level anyday..." drano Beth's reply to me...in it's exact form...was... "your so sweet i miss you wish we could have hung out more but we will soon im real busy but ALWAYS here if you need to talk or just bullshit NEVER forget that ;)"...love always...and forever...

I sit looking at pictures, trying to see you in front of me, but it isn't the same. Mostly I just miss my sister, and all that "sister" entails. "I carry you in my heart" Man I miss you, I hope you know how much.
