Today is the one-year anniversary of Beth Westbrook's death from complications of appendicitis at the hands of Seton Central. I still think about Beth a lot. She would be soooo pissed about the anti-gay marriage legislation in Texas right now. I know she would have been up at the Capitol all spring lobbying against the gaggle of anti-gay bills we faced this session. And I wonder if Ladyfest TX 2005 might have happened if she had been around. She's just missed, plain as that.
Her website is still up, just as she left it on June 29, 2004.

since i am AT seton right now, i can def. say beth has been on my mind too. in fact, when they were about to bring me here in the ambulance i was telling dave over and over, i don't want to go there! i don't want to go there! they killed beth! that was partially whatever drugs i was being pumped with but i was scared to come here.
i think beth touched alot of people's lives and she was never afraid of confrontation or controversy. she's one of those people you never forget.
