We knew Beverly and Billy for many years, getting to know them at Cornerstone Baptist. Beverly was a sweet gentle lady who showed the love of Jesus to us all. We did not know she had passed till today - so missed her service, but please know we are saddened to hear she has left us. Just lost Billy also- they both are missed. But we will look forward to seeing them in our heavenly home. May God bless and comfort her family and loved ones in the days ahead.
Matt I'm not on fbook anymore. I just saw where your mom passed away. I am so sorry. She was so sweet I will always remember her.
I grew up with Beverly because I was best friends with her older sister Sandra. This makes me so sad! Beverly was in my wedding and her parents were dear friends of ours. She will surely be missed by the rest of her family.
May God give you comfort and peace. She was one great lady.
Sandra, I just read of your sister. Her face looked familiar and yet I did not know her. I am so sorry if your loss, but thankfully she is in heaven where you will join her. Praying for you and her family as you prepare for her celebration. Sincerely, Chris
Matt,
I am so sorry for you, brother! So many memories of hanging out at your house on Maple and your mom keeping us straight. She sure had her hands full with us! I have court scheduled and can’t leave town or know I would be there with you! Call me if anything is needed. Love you man!
Matt,
So sorry to read about your mother! We went to church with her at Cornerstone for several years. She was a sweet, precious, Godly lady! May God comfort, as only he can!

My deepest sympathy for you Matthew. I met your precious mother Beverly many years ago, she was such a beautiful woman, she had a beautiful heart, she was always so soft spoken. I can tell you this, she loved you, and that precious poodle of hers. Most of all your mother loved our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST with all her heart. We shared many conversations about when we get to heaven one day. Your mother beat me there, and I know she’s rejoicing, she’s walking and talking with JESUS.
I pray GOD will comfort your heart during this sad time and the days ahead.
Rest In Peace Beverly, I’ll see you again one day my sweet friend.
