My high school BFF was Beverlie's youngest daughter, Kelly. Bev always had the pantry packed with good "teenage" food. Thats where I learned to butter my pop tarts. Bev was always happy and her laugh could be heard through the whole house. As an adult I would occasionally see her out and about, and she would always take time to stop and reminisce about those days. This world lost a real gem. Bev,I hope we can share a buttered pop tart (the cinnamon kind) and a good cup of coffee together on the other side. You hold a special place in my heart. ~ Wendy

I'm Bev's next door neighbor. I just learned of her passing. My condolences to her family and friends. I remember the day I met her I was having a garage sale and she came over to introduce herself. Her first two words to me were, hi neighbor! She was a wonderful neighbor and I'm going to miss her very much.
