Bev was a wonderful person to be around. Attending Westchester EFC Bev was very active in White Cross and Young at Hearts. At White Cross she taught me how to tie the knots in a quilt so they would not come untied, at Young at hearts she made many decorations from the plastic and Yarn to give to each person in attendance as a gift at Christmas time. I put them on my Christmas tree each year. There are at least 12 or more. I also have a hanging saying"Lord Help Me Hang On" which she gave to me while I was taking chemo. I have it in my bedroom where I see it every night as I go to bed.Even while her heath was getting worse she was a witness to so many people. Love and prayers to her family.
