I have so many fond memories of our family times together. Aunt Bev was always so generous and kind to all of us and very welcoming when we all showed up to visit from Louisville. Our last visit with her was when she and Joe joined us when we were staying at DisneyWorld. Sending love and prayers to everyone.
Love,
Brenda Best Staman & Family
