Help Bryan and Family Through MaryBeth's Passing

I can't believe I am writing this right now, it still doesn't seem real. I lost my best friend last night, Bryan lost his wife, Bryson, Kate & Allie lost their mom.

I never had a sister, MaryBeth was the closest thing that God gave me to that. She was one of the best hearted people that I have ever met. She was beautiful inside and out. She was ditzy at times and was literally the walking definition of ADHD but she was pure. Pure hearted and minded. God doesn't make too many folks like her and that's why she was my best friend. She had the best personality, she could see the silver lining in any situation and she lived by God's motto "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". She was literally a ray of sunlight in this dark world. I don't understand why God needed to take her home so soon, but I am happy knowing she's at peace with Jesus and with Hanky and her parents.

Her loss was so sudden and unexpected that no one had time to prepare for this devastating blow. MaryBeth was in a vechicle accident a few days ago, she seemed okay and went to UT and got checked out. We thought she was fine. But her health declined in matter of minutes last night, so now we are all left hurting and with more questions than answers.

I created this GFM because I know MB would want to know her family was taken care of. Even if you can't donate, please say a prayer for all of us, especially Bryan and their children.

I MISS MY BESTIE
