About Elizabeth
On October 20, 2021, two and a half years after als diagnosis, Beth was taken from us. The world changed that day and as she fought valiantly yet remaining optimistic and hopeful.
Beth never asked " why me ? ". We lost an irreplaceable friend who was kind, thoughtful and put the welfare of other before hers. Beth was humble and rarely, if ever, asked for favors from anyone. When diagnosed, she and her fiancee, Jim, let very few people know. Beth refused to burden others with her diagnosis and swore others to do the same. She was not an introvert by any means but simply did not want others to worry about her. The welfare of others was more important than her own well being. Beth was passionate about wildlife and the environment. Wildlife rescues and preserving their habitats were important to her and with your generous support, funds raised will go to selected non profits to help in wildlife rescue and als related causes. PLEASE hit the donate button and on behalf of the Elizabeth C. Grey Foundation...
Thank You
A Few Words from Jim
Hello,
My soulmate and love of my life Beth may not be here today in a physical sense but she absolutely is with me spiritually. Words cannot describe the sense of loss I feel each day. Her kindness, unique brand of humor and warm smile are irreplaceable. She is STILL my inspiration and my hero. The years we spent together were too brief but were filled with meticulous gardening, nights by the fire overlooking the Bay and the visions of Beth feeding the wild bunnies, deer and birds that were nearby. Her garden would flourish and the grass was perfectly manicured. It was the simple things in life that made her smile. That is what I miss every minute of every day. Her laughter and smile were beyond compare. I am certain that those of you who lost a loved one can relate to the hollow feeling of loss that appears unexpectedly. This foundation is an extension of Beth. A way to forever preserve her memory and to create new ones by allowing others to share in her vision. She was selfless , humble and kind. I absolutely commit to continue with those attributes through the Elizabeth C. Grey Foundation. I know Beth is with me every day and with a mischievous smirk, will be there when the times ahead get tough. Please consider donating on this website and know that you are helping to preserve Beth's memory while helping other charities that were so important to Beth. I hope you enjoy the photos I selected from the hundreds I took of Beth. I did my best but always find myself improving this site. Thank you so much. Peace , Jim
