Mrs. McColloch was a second Mom to me as Sally and I roamed the streets of Eastmoreland! I remember her as the cool mom who you could tell anything to-The McColloch household was one of a handful of "homebases" for me but Mrs. McColloch remains a top mom in my heart! All my very best to the entire McColloch clan.
Fondly,

I have many fond memories over the last twenty years here in Charbonneau and SpringRidge. Many of these included my dear friend Bev. We shared many activities and discussions including book club and bridge. I admire her family in their devotion and care for their mother. I was told by a friend in her swimming group,and I agree, that Bev set a wonderful example for all of us in her last days by being her wonderful self until the very end.

Deepest regards to all of Beverly's family. She was a respected and thoughtful colleague and friend when she served as a counselor for the school-within-a-school I directed at Adams High School in the 70s before she left for Hawaii.
