"Bev and I worked together at Steketees back in the 1970's. I found out that we were related as well. Bev was so much fun and she brightened the room when she entered. I loved her smile and her laughter. Bev, you were someone special and you will certainly be missed. Rest in peace.

"There are times in life when you meet someone, and their smile touches your heart. You feel a warmth of happiness, love, and faith. And you carry it with you like a distant memory that's always there. I loves Bev through the eyes of her daughter. I am so thankful I got the chance to run into them a couple times at the store. Bev had no idea who I was...and it didn't matter because she greeted you with the same loving smile and laughter she greeted her loved ones with. Her smile was comforting. Her laughter intoxicating. I have no doubt she was very spicy in her younger years...but always carried that special Aura that made everyone feel important, everyone feel loved. Praying for all of those who loved her. This is a great loss here on earth...but what a joy, celebration, and homecoming up above. Whoever gets her as a guardian Angel is gonna be one lucky soul. Knowing her though...she watch over us all.
