My deepest sympathy on the anniversary of Bev's passing. I remember the last class reunion she attended. She had scheduled her heart surgery for after the reunion so she could attend and shortly after that we learned of her passing. She was full of life and happiness as she visited with her classmates. She had an eternal joy about her. Peace to you.

I have thought of Beverly often since she passed away soon after our WHS 50th class reunion. She told me at the reunion that she rescheduled her surgery to enjoy being with her classmates. She was, as usual, upbeat and happy with that beautiful smile she always wore. I hope Lloyd and her children are sustained by the many wonderful memories they surely have of their wife, mother and grandmother.

My sympathy to all the Athorp family. As everyone has mentioned, Bev was such a pleasant and positive person--always with a smile and a friendly comment. We so enjoyed her working with us on the Class of '63 reunion and seeing her there. She will be missed.

Greetings from Arizona to Lloyd and family. I will always remember Beverly as a fun loving person, very proud of her family, and a generous lady. She and Lloyd would always meet me and some of my family for dinner at some nice restaurant and spend a wonderful evening catching up with family and friends. She visited me one time when she was on a church mission tour and I showed her a little of AZ. To all the family when your in AZ please stop by and see me. My heart goes out to all of you and will pray for you for your loss. Will not be able to make it home for Sat. funeral, but will be with you in sprit,
my Deepest Sympathy to you all.

Bev brought cheer and friendliness to everyone around her. I remember Bev from high school - always with a smile on her face. It was no different last weekend at our 50th class reunion; Knowing she was facing heart surgery, yet positive and upbeat. We were so lucky to have that wonderful evening with her. Our sympathy to her entire family.
