In addition to honoring Beth, Bonnie has also called out trolls who wrote nasty messages about her mother in the comments. 

“For those talking s**t about my mother after her death, shame on you,” Bonnie tweeted. “My mother was a person and doesn’t deserve to be degraded because of ANY of her or my father’s past. My mother fought for women’s rights and was the kindest woman.”

Duane posted a sweet video of Beth singing and dancing to the Bruno Mars song “Perm.” He wrote, “People have asked me... What is something fans do not know about Beth... Here you go.” 

In the video, Beth is grooving out around an empty restaurant looking so happy. Duane said to Hawaii News Now, “There's steps you go through when you're dying. Well, the last step when you're dying is to accept it, and she said to me the other day, 'Honey, that last step, I ain't taking it.' So go Bethy."
