Thank you Beverly for reaching out to be my friend. You were always willing to go for a shopping trip or a coffee and muffin break or a friendly game of Rummycube. You were the wonderful friend who sat by my side and entertained me and let me know everything would be ok when I had cancer. I miss you so much and when I come to the heavenly city, I will ask for a mansion right next door to you.
Sending my deepest condolences to the family. I was blessed to have met Beverly when she came to Tx to visit Sandra, she was so fun and clearly loved her kids and grandchildren! I know it’s a difficult moment, you’re in our thoughts and prayers Tanya, Emily and Noemi
