Bethie

A general thanks to Pelican Parts, this community helped me through a rough 6 months. Yesterday morning I lost my best friend and partner to brain cancer. Bethie put up with my love a Porsches and cars in general. During her home hospice, this community gave me hours of enjoyment reading through the Off Topic section, doing general 911 research to figure out next steps for my 911 as well as keeping an eye on the market.

Bethie looks the deal, stylish and straight ahead. Lovely.

You'll always be a couple. Corney, but true.

I wish you well.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My wife's name too, so this struck a sad note.

Our thoughts are with you.

Condolences Jon! Glad that you found some enjoyment here with us over these difficult months. Stay in touch, maybe a road trip could do you some good in moving thru the next months. Go for a cruise, visit some other porsche lovers.

All the Best
Richard

Sorry for your loss.

It's nice to know that this band of miscreants brought some joy to you without us even knowing it. Stop back by when you can, this miscreant would like to hear a few stories of the times you shared with Bethie. That smile tells me she knew how to enjoy life, and not just live it. I think stories like that do us all some good.

Godspeed Bethie.

So, so sorry to hear this. Wish I knew what to say.

I'm sure that you made her very happy and that she felt loved based on your post. I hope that you feel better soon.

I'm so sorry you lost your friend. It must have been a difficult time. I'm glad PPOT was able to provide some relief. I can't imagine how hard this must be.

My sincere condolences.

She will always be with you in your memories. You'll "see" her often in little everyday events or objects. Smile when that happens.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Hope that this doesn't sound too corny but everyday is a new day. Even though this is a freedom you never wanted, make the best of it.
