Bethane My Sister, My Soror, your light will shine in my heart eternally. Your legacy of love is reflected in your family and friends. Sincere condolences to The Brown family during this challenging time. Yours in Delta, Ann Shiver Moss Kappa Gamma

Bethany had such a beautiful spirit, it was contagious. My condolences to the Brown family.

Bethany such a beautiful loving caring spirit. I met Bethany several years ago. We taught the pre-K Children's Sunday School at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church together. She was always willing to give of herself in any way possible. Family know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Hailey Alexis and I love you dearly. Bethane will miss you so much. Rest my friend.

Lorelle— There are no words that can truly express the sadness we feel knowing that you have left us behind, without a warning, without a sign. Suddenly you are gone and we mourn in our thoughts, but will remember the joy that you brought to our hearts. Your big beautiful eyes showed us how much you adored us and yet they were windows to your soul where sadness left a gaping hole. Yet you pressed on, moved forward and held it down, not allowing sadness to be your crown. Instead, you reached deep inside and poured out from within, your strength was strong to bless your kin. Daughter, Sister, Mother, Auntie, Cousin, Niece and Friend, as each you were treasured, your place here unmeasured. There is one sure thing we know, you walked as a precious angel here on earth, till God called you home to heavenly mirth. There is no doubt you are dancing with Depayne, happy, smiling, free, no distress, only we here are left in sadness. Blessed by your life, graced by your love and warmed by your smile, we will be missing you for a while. That sweet southern twang, that shining bright grin and all of our cherished memories until we meet again.

Our whole entire family is so affected and saddened by Lorelle's sudden departure from our lives and this world. She was so much to so many. She connected with us. She cared for us and loved us with everything that she had. As her family in NY, we didn't see her a whole lot, but she stayed in communication with us. She was always sending us encouraging group texts, she checked on us and she always said I love you. Let us honor her memory by continuing to do those things and so much more for one another. To our South Carolina Family, we are not physically there to celebrate Lorelle's life, but we do share in the love for her life and sadness of her death with you. We are praying for peace, comfort and strength to bring us all through this. Lorelle will truly be missed. Sending Many Hugs and all of Our Love.--YOUR NEW YORK FAMILY: WILLIE, BOBBY, TERESA, BARBARA, SHIRLEY, TAMMY, CINDY, STEPHANIE, PAM, JASON, JEROME, JERMAINE, TARA, JARED, AND ALL THE REST OF YOUR COUSINS

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Bethane. I am a friend of the family. I never had the opportunity to meet this awesome young soul. I pray God give her husband, children, parents, sister, nieces and nephews the strength and peace to get through this time. Know that God does not make any mistake and He will let you see her again.

My condolences to Leroy and Frances May God give you the Strenght To get through all that you have to Do. Margaret wilson

Bethane I kept saying I need to call you and I didn't listen to my inner voice, I was numb when I found out you slipped away from this earth. I was a BB MOM with Bethane (ONE DREAM) and her massaage therapist, it was my honor to hold space for her on my table and offer her self care time. She was so kind and so passionate about her family. Job well done Beautiful Soul! Tony and Family the Kelson Family sends you so much Love and Light.

Soror Bethane was light, joy and pure kindness. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Lander and it's an honor calling her my Soror. To the family, I continue to pray for comfort and peace as you move forward.

Bethane, my dear friend. My daughter (Lauren)second mom. I enjoyed our friendship and conversations. It was never a dull moment when we get together. Your energy was contagious. The love you shared for so many. Thank you for being apart of our lives as often you would tell me. Rest in peace my dear friend. We love and miss you dearly.

To the Brown and Middleton Family, We all experience loss, but no one can understand exactly what you are feeling. Simply know that are many people who are thinking of you at this difficult time. With Sympathy, Almanda & Oscar Green and Family.

Lorelle was an amazing person. Her strength and dedication to family was incredible. She was also a person that could always make you laugh with her imitations. She showed all of us the meaning of grace when, upon losing her sister and best friend, she told the world, "we cannot let hate win, because we are the family that love built." We will miss you dearly Relle. With Love, The Thornburgs, Aunt Sadie, Uncle Jeff and Cousin Ryan

It was a honor and privilege to be in the same room with Bethane. She was strong, kind, compassionate, funny and intelligent. She was an example of what people should aspire to be. She cared deeply for everyone that she encountered and we were lucky to be in her presence. She will sorely be missed. I pray for peace for her family. xoxo Coworker- Yahaira A. Jackson

It was truly an honor and privilege for me to have known Bethane. Bethane was an extraordinary women, wife, mother, auntie and daughter. Most of all she was my friend, my sister circle, mentor, my prayer warrior and colleague. She was a woman who exhibited integrity, humility, genuineness, strength, resilience and love. Bethane's mission was that of always being dedicated of taking care of others personally and professionally, in which she did with much grace. Bethane has left a strong foundation, I'm sure for her family and so many people. She will be greatly missed. Spread your wings my friend and fly proudly, you have earned it. My condolences to Tony and the family and I'm praying for you all. Lindsay Green, Friend and Colleague.

I'm thankful for having Bethane as a friend. Her loving spirit will live on in the lives of all she touched. Sending prayers of comfort to you all. Lavern Gary-Reid

The world will be darker without your bright light. Thank you for the stories. I will not forget your friendship 💙💜💙💜💙💜

Yesterday was just a normal day until I received the news that you had passed away. So I wrote your name in the sand and the waves washed it away! I wrote your name in the sky and the wind blew it away. Just like all our plans have been erased away! This life we live-so fragile-unfair-but a vapor. Now I'm coming to terms with your name in my heart- where it will always stay- Forever, my friend, my BMB. Malisha Ross-Hunter

I light this candle in memory of her beautiful smile lol how she always lit up the room she walked into every day in all of our classes through out our days in school from middle through high school. I remember her trying to convince me to join track and field stating that I had perfect wrists for doing shot put lol. I loved the way she mimicked our favorite teachers and her father whenever we had some down time in school. I loved her voice when she sang she never hesitated to let her light shine in the earth. I feel certain that heaven is much more brighter with her there. Family and friends she will definitely be missed from our physical presence hold fast to those precious memories that you hold dear to your heart. Remember her with a smile, a song and at times a little laugh. I'm so sorry for your loss and the ache of her physical absence my prayers are with you for strength during those difficult moments that we all endure during seasons like these.

To: The Brown & Middleton Family When I was initially informed of Bethane's transition I sat in utter shock and disbelief for several minutes. After collecting myself I realized that her time here on earth had come to a physical end. To be absent from the body is to be present with Our Father. Her transition was all in God's divine plan. Family, please know that God in all his Glory will heal the hurt, fill the void, and take the pain away. He loves you just that much. Embrace the memories of Bethane. They will get you through the coming days, weeks, and years to come. God is your strength; strength like none other. My love and prayers are with you always!!!❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 Elizabeth Glover (Charleston, SC)

Bethane is a beautiful, loving, caring soul—strong in spirit. She loves her family very much and would do anything for them. She is missed. God bless you. God is near. Randall and Karen Williams Walterboro, SC
