“What a too young and too beautiful of a soul to be taken away…. That woman [changed] a whole lot of lives and god dang that girl is funny as sโ she has no filter.

Just weeks before Beth’s death, Lyssa, 32, and Beth got into a feud on Twitter after Beth said Lyssa never sent her a message on Mother’s Day. However, sources said Beth and Lyssa “reconnected” before her death and ended things on good terms.
During Beth’s Hawaii memorial, Lyssa shared a photo with the heartbreaking caption, “Someone wake me up from this awful dream. I have no words. Still in disbelief. Pray for our family, as we lost our strongest member.”

Lyssa’s fiancee, Leiana Evensen, also shared a tribute to Beth, posting a gallery of photos from Beth’s Hawaii memorial service.
“RIP Beth. You are certainly one of the strongest women I’ve ever met. It does not seem fair to have your powerful life cut short but you will live on through all of your kids, grandkids, greatgrandkids, husband and fans around the world,” Evensen wrote.
“It was an honor to be a part of your celebration of life, beautiful send off on the water for a beautiful woman,” she wrote. “We will be living the best lives we can for you. Aloha ‘Oe Mrs Dog.”
