Marybeth became a close and highly regarded friend in the last two years of her life, and I find myself filled with gratitude to have known this remarkable woman. She had a keen wit and lively mind that knew no barriers due to the personal courage and conviction she had about literally anything brought to her attention.
She made me laugh all the time, and playing music with her,(Our favorite pastime) was always richly rewarding. She had a sparkle and a depth to her voice and could sing all styles with grit and grace.
Then there was the sweet relish of enjoying just the right Starbuck's coffee together, complaining about politics, and theorizing about Theologic and Philosophic beliefs. This renaissance woman seemed to know so much about everything. She was an artist and her paintings were as moving as any I've seen in my life.
Marybeth; you were and are a blessing to my life - and I will look forward to the day when we meet again... and it too will be sweet.
