Dakota's grandfather, Duane "Dog" Chapman has announced that a second memorial service for Beth will be held in Aurora, Colorado, on July 13 at Heritage Christian Center. Doors will open at 1 p.m., and the service will start at 2 p.m.
Dog has opened up several times about the loss of his wife, including giving insight into her final days.
"Beth was somewhat of a control person — not from the grave but from heaven. I'm sure she's still controlling me and I've got notes in my pillowcases, on my sink, in my shaving thing. She's still telling me what to wear," Dog told Hawaii News Now. She did it her way. There's some things that they predicted that the doctors ended up saying, 'We've never, ever, seen anything like this. Her way was to live. She wanted to live so bad and she fought so long, and the reason she fought, she liked life but she wanted to show people how to beat it and what to do when it got her.
"One of the last things she said [was] 'It's a test of my faith.' She had faith and that was it. There's things you go through when you're dying, like steps like you do when you lose someone, right? You get mad at them, and then you go through all these steps. Well, the last step when you're dying is to accept it. And she said to me the other day, 'Honey, that last step, I ain't taking…' So go Bethy."
