I absolutely loved babysitting for Beverly way back when Kelli was a baby. I admired her beauty and grace and loved her little family. I thought she was the most organized, calm mother I had ever met and as I kept her little angels for them to go out to dinner, I always dreamed of being a mother just like her. Rest in peace sweet Beverly, you have touched many lives and gave us joy. Prayers for all the family. Love ya'll, Cindy

So sorry to hear of Beverly’s death. We lived across the street from Beverly and family growing up. I still think of your family when thinking of the old neighbor. Last time I saw Beverly was at my sister Wanda’s funeral. We lost Blanche two years ago. Prayers to your family.

To Bill and Missy and family, we are so very sad for your family. Beverly was such a wise and kind person. I remember a dessert she brought to a women’s Christmas party. A baked blueberry and Brie dish! She ‘d never made it before and was not happy with how it looked, but man was it good. There wasn’t any left to take home. I had never cared for Brie until then! I think about her every time Brie is mentioned.
She was a jewel. Praying for all of you in the days ahead.

Bev was my beloved big sister and sister-in-law. I will miss her very much as will Judy, her little sister.
Bev, Bill, Judy and I went on several trips together. Never forget Bev walking barefoot in the snow in New Mexico.
Judy and I and our children and grandchildren look forward to seeing Bev in heaven.

Dear Amy, (and family)
I did not know your mom, except through you and Gwen, but if she raised you Amy, she did a great job and must have been an amazing woman.
I know you will miss her terribly, and I’m just so glad you and your family
were able to spend time with her recently! You and all the family will be in
my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. Jon also asked me to tell you
that he was so sorry.
