I will miss my BFF! She was so special to me for the past 11 years.
Bev has left us a wonderful example of courage and faith. I am thankful for the privilege of knowing her. She will be missed by many.
Dear Family of Beverly, I was going to be there this afternoon in honor of Bev, but family problems have come up and I must go to Indianapolis with my brother who has cancer. Your Mother, Grandmother, and I go back to 1957 when we both graduated from HS. We have known each other that long. Bev was a great Christian woman, who is with the Lord now, and is completely well. She has been a great example of dying with dignity, with a smile on her face and in her life. You will be reunited with her in the next life. You have been the faithful daughter, and you can be happy that you did what you could to make her last days/weeks/months the happiest of her lifetime. I loved your Mom…we worked for a while together at Onkyo, and were able to renew our friendship. My love and prayers to all of you at this sad time. LuAnne
