Dear Walker Family:

I want to express our condolence in behalf of the Sayre Seventh-day Adventist Church, for the lost of your family member, Beverly. I had a recent opportunity to have a pastoral visit with her and Debbie Walker. At that visit I sensed that Beverly was at peace with her Creator. Praise God! Thus, "since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus comes, God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died." 1 Thessalonians 4:14. New Living Translation.

To Aunt Bev's family,
I will remember Aunt Bev and all of you in my prayers. Having lost my Dad earlier this year, I have some idea what you are feeling. I will always remember Aunt Bev fondly, from the times she babysat my brother Bob and me to her trips to see Mom and Dad in Tully, Preble, and Homer.

Most of Aunt Bev's kids won't remember me, but I am Aunt Marg and Uncle Dick's oldest son.

None of you know me,but I worked with Bev at the Nursing facility. The work was hard and if it hadn't been for having nice people like Bev to work with, I don't think I could've lasted as long as I did. God bless you Bev,you've earned your rest.
