To Bev's family: I met Bev when I was a housing counselor at a local non profit. As a single mom with financial problems after having a (unis.) house fire. Bev sent me a card and money at Christmas time to give my kids a good Christmas... I never forgot her generosity & genuine caring and I will always be grateful... I pray your memories help you through this difficult time. I will keep you all in my prayers. Rest in Peace Bev... Until we meet again..
