Larry & Family My sincere condolence to you & your family. Bev and I were class-mates in high school, four years in the same roll room. We connected again when our girls were together in junior high who become fast friends. Ruth, Tracy, and the Meyer twins celebrated many a birthday together. I'm sure you weir miss her and her loving ways.

Dear Aunt Beverly, you are finally home, and I'm so very happy for you! I can't stop thinking what it was like when you finally got to see your precious baby girl... I can't find words to express how amazing that must have been to feel your daughter's touch again and see her smile... I look forward to that day.
Finally, thank you for being there and helping me through an experience like only you could understand. You have always been consistently sweet and kind since ever since I was small, and I will always love you and think of you often!
