Sorry to not have gotten this out sooner but our member care committee chair has been out of the country and did not receive this:

Dear friends and family,

Beth Lorraine Naramore, our special child for 54 years, broke through the surly bonds of earth on February 2, 2016 and was running full speed as St. Peter quickly opened the pearly gates  for her.

She is now wrapped safely in the arms of Jesus as a fully functioning young lady and is surely singing in the Heavenly Choir. God blessed us with Beth for all of these years but he decided it’s best that he call her home.

For those who didn’t know, Beth was born with a condition called “Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum”. Please “Google”  her condition for more info.

She was one of three cases in the medical books at the time and we were told not to expect more than 4 yrs of life for her.  Well, she beat that prognosis by 50 years. She was a tough gal.

Our love to you all,

Veva & J. D. Naramore
