Condolence: Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Family is so important and that is never more noticed than at a time of loss. I just wanted to say that my thoughts and prayers are with all of your family. My memories of Mrs Van Alstine are all good ones, she was a very caring mother and was always very nice to me when I was at the house visiting Peter. I will never forget those days.

Condolence: Peter, I saw Beths obituary in the Bangor Daily News this evening. Although I never met her I remember you talking about your wife and sons on your annual trips to our house on Pleasant Street. Reading about her she certainly sounds like a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Tammy and I want to extend our sincere condolences. Your are in our thoughts. Joe Nabozny Joe Nabozny

Condolence: Dear friends, I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts & prayers in this difficult time. MaryBeth was a fixture of my childhood, bombing around town in her little convertible, long before we worked together at Once A Tree. She was the first adult to befriend me outside of family associations and her friendship through our time at OAT was special & fun. She was always so quick with a hug and sharing her happy energy. She was a force and I wish you comfort & peace as you find a way forward without her. Much love...

Condolence: Peter and family, we just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. Steve and Cori LaPlant

We only had the pleasure of visiting with Mary Beth a few times, but it was quite obvious her vibrant personality and love of family and life.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Mary Beth was such a special person with a big heart. I always looked forward to when she brought in Truly to the vet's. She was such an inspiration who's spirit will live on. May you know that you have a special guardian angel taking care of you.

Condolence: "She was a ball of fire and loved life. . . . " Absolutely true! How I loved bumping into Mary Beth around town, hearing her wonderful stories about the grandchildren, the dog, or whatever was giving her joy at the moment. When my children went trick or treating on Rockbrook Drive, Mary Beth's full blown enthusiasm when she'd open the door ["Children! We're so glad you came!"] always brought great smiles. I will always think of her with respect and delight. Sending much love to you all. Beverly Scott (Joan Phaup's sister)
