Dear Patsy, Alan, and Tracy,
So very sorry to hear about Beth. Sending our love and prayers to all of you during this sad time.
Ms. Pat (and Tracy),
I don’t know how to express how sorry I am to hear of Beth’s passing. I have such fond memories of spending time with the Sewald family during my Natchez Bombers (and more) years. My heart breaks for you, and my prayers go with you.
My heart is broken to learn Beth is no longer with us. I will always cherish time spent with her at Uncle Bill and Aunt Libby’s house. I love you all and wish I could be there to wrap ya’ll up in a hug.

She was a good person.
Beth and I grew up together in Natchez. We shared a birthday. She used to joke that she was 20 minutes older than I was. She was a kind-hearted soul who was always friendly to everyone. Condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss. Praying for all of you.
Prayers to you Tracy and Ms Pat! I enjoyed reconnecting with Beth through Facebook… she was an awesome softball player and teammate! She will be missed!
RIP sweet Beth. Glad we got close on FB. You were a good friend to me during Dalton’s illness. You and Tracy always prayed and supported me. Gone to young sweetie. Watch over your mom and Tracy. You will be missed. We love you.❤️?

I am so deeply saddened over the loss of Beth. She was always so sweet when I knew her as a student at McLaurin Middle School and Natchez High School in Natchez, Mississippi. Beth was always in great spirits, smiling all the time and was always kind. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all, Tracy and Mrs. Sewald.
Pat and Tracy, I was so sorry to hear about Beth. She was such a sweet little girl when I had the privilege of teaching her in fourth grade. She was so close to you, Pat. Great memories of those days. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Beth was so sweet I first met her at mclaurin elementary school she used to come visit her mom who was our asst.treacher in ms mccoys 6th grade class always had a smile on her face made us all fell like we were friends beautiful person gone to soon
I taught Beth in high school & we were close & she kept in contact as long as she was in the area. She was brilliant & totally delightful! I was very fond of Beth! We lost contact, I guess, when she moved to Wisconsin. I do so hope she & Tracy were happy & she was no longer frustrated. I am sooo saddened by her death – she was a good soul!!!! I cared a great deal for her!!!
Beth helped my mom raise me from a very small toddler ( not sure how old , I’m going to guess age 3) till I was a couple of months shy of turning 10 I wanna say . She played a very big part in my life , I learned how to bowl and shoot pool from her , I even done bowling leagues and won first place my first year all while being the youngest to compete. To me she was my step mom . Losing her has truly tore me up. We hadn’t seen one another face to face since I was a kid , but we kept in touch on the phone and through Facebook. I’m so sorry for your lose Tracy , I’m glad she had you all these years. She needed some one to always lean on bc we all know she was the one who was there for who ever to lean on . I love ya . Don’t be a stranger plz. Love tha kiddo
Patsy and Al, I am so sorry to hear this.thinking about you, Sharon
