On March 9, Anne and I lost our only child, our precious daughter Beth. After a 30 year battle with diabetes which led to partial blindness, kidney failure, and failed organ transplants, her fragile body finally gave up. As much as I would like to tell you about her and how special she was, it is still too soon. The tears have not stopped and I just can’t do it right now. Anne and I would like to thank the hundreds of friends and relatives who have contacted us during this most difficult time. If you would like to see what others thought, or you would like to make a donation to the two charities Beth actively supported, please go to www.hinesrinaldifuneralhome.com .

I will resume my blog in a few days. In the mean time, I thank you for your continued support and patience.
Ron:
Like so many of your friends from our years in Washington, we watched Beth grow up. Amy and I grieve with you and Anne. Our prayers are with you and we are here when you need us.
Words cannot convey my deepest sympathies at this time. I’ll miss her like a big sister, she was that special. I can only hope I could be half the person she was and is in all our minds!
Im so sorry ron even though I did not know your daughter I sure felt like I did from all the stories you shared with me. I will have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
I do hope you are ok, I miss your blog im sure you have been not liking the weather thus far. its been a cold one. and cabin fever has set in. take care vanessa
