News About Bethany Curton’s Passing June 12, 2008
Words escape us as we try and make sense of this terrible loss. Bethany, age 17, youngest daughter of Pastor Mike and Sis. Annette Curton, was critically injured in an auto accident, and has passed away. The driver of the vehicle, James (Jimmy) Scott, 24, was killed in the accident. I am including links to several articles detailing the accident that took place June 10, 2008.
As many of you know, just a few days ago, Bethany celebrated her graduation from high school and was full of promise and potential. Bethany will truly be missed by many. Our prayers and condolences go out to both families during this tragic time of loss and grief.

We will certainly miss you. You were so young but you were always so encouraging to me. The sun at mid-day could not shine as brightly as you did when you smile. You were always like a little sister to me and I will miss you. Save me a seat next to you in heaven. I’ll see you again soon lil sis. God bless
I will miss you so much. You were always there for me when i needed you. You always looked at me with a smile, hoping things would get better for me. You were always the brightest person i knew and could make any person young or old smile and have a brighter day. You meant so much not just to me but to everyone else. Thank you for being there and caring. I hope that one day i will see you again. We’ll sing and laugh and rejoice with GOD ALMIGHTY! I love you
Bethany you were truly one of my best friends… You are the one who knocked some sense into me when I was out of church and your the reason why I came back. I miss you so much and I thank God every day for placing you in my life… We will see each other soon but until then I plan on carrying out both of our dreams and I wont stop singing no matter what….
With all of my love, Molly
