Tom & family - We are truly sorry to hear of Bev's passing. She was our neighbor in So. Milwaukee for almost 30 years & Arizona was lucky to get her. I will never forget her wonderful laugh & the image of her sitting in the backyard or riding on the back of the Harley. Tom, I know that she will be riding with you always.

Tom and Family,
You are in our prayers at this time. Even though we are very new neighbors, Bev's smiles and nodding reassurances, always meant a lot to us. Her kindness was evident. Her goodness, obvious. We know her love for you is eternal.

Met Tom & Bev, while on honeymoon in Jamaica 5 yrs ago. From the very first moments we talked, we took off on a never-ending journey of friendship. The first thing that amazed me was the LOVE they both had for each other - it was written all over their faces. Bev was always smiling, greeting everyone who passed by, cracking jokes and laughing. We are honoured to have known such a wonderful loving person. These memories are sealed in our hearts forever. She will be deeply missed. Condolences to family and friends at this time of sorrow. May God bless you.

Aunt Bev had a fun loving spirit that was unmatched. Her laugh was from the heart. Altough I haven't seen her years, I can still hear her laugh today. It was so genuine. I hope the memories of your wife, mom, and grandma bring you comfort during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a great woman Bev was. She was funny, always laughing, loved traveling and meeting new people. She was very easy to talk with and quick to make new friends. I will keep her in my heart forever. Bev-you will be sincerely missed.
