Such a wonderful person who never made you feel like a stranger. Who poured her love into her family and community. She lit up a room and made everyone feel special. A no nonsense person, she shot straight from the hip and was a light into the world. She is rejoicing with those who went before her, with God, and with the Angels. She was a truly beautiful person who will be missed by every life she touched.
What a beautiful precious lady. Beverly was such an inspiration to all of us girls in quilt class! She was a truly one of a kind precious lady with a heart of gold. She will be missed so much in quilt class at Lonesome Pines Quilt shop. God speed Beverly.
Loved Beverly’s smile! My thoughts are with all her family members to whom she shared her world.
We are sorry for Berverly’s family. Beverly was a very special, brave, sweet Christian lady. A great example to all of us.
She was so very proud of her family. I was so impressed by how well behaved all of the grandchildren were at one of our local restaurants. When I bragged to her about that she just beamed. This took place a few years ago when all of the children were small.
I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed by so many.
Beverly was always one of my favorite cousins. I will miss her!
