Leslie and Family,

Your mother was one of the most supportive and caring people in my life. She was always there to cheer me on to sucess as child care director, and as an administrator at Providence Head Start. I will miss our lengthy phone calls, meetings, dinners , and most of all her laughter. Beryl was a true person and a loving and caring friend at that. I will miss her dearly, and look forward to working with a community in Heaven with her, when I get there!
Love always,
