Not sure what to say?

Now Heaven has another very amazing angel!

Beverly was my babysitter from the ages of roughly 6yrs to 10 yrs. She was the most amazing sitter my family had ever had. My older brother, younger sister and I always looked forward to spending time with Beverly and her awesome family! Since I was crazy about animals like this whole family was, I enjoyed every minute.
I remember they even had a pet crow!

I stayed in touch with Beverly over the years via Facebook,...

Sending heavenly love to Bev. I didn't know her long but she was a bright light which was felt by everyone. Sending peace and prayers to my friend.

i will always miss you grandma you will always be in my heart no matter what such a very lovely lady never gave up hope

There’s no words that can be said to say what a wonderful mother in law she was. My son and I were blessed to become part of this family. Mom, we will miss you deeply. Give Dad, David and everyone else a huge hug for us.

I loved Aunt Bev very much. You will be missed and make sure on that first heavenly camping trip with my folks and Uncle Grant, you stop at the very first McDonalds you see!

I am honored she was my Aunt! Such a lovely person inside and out.

Oh my! This picture your loved ones chose to celebrate your life is exactly how I believe you and Uncle Grant met at your transition to your Heavenly home yesterday! No more pain! Happy and loved! You will be missed dear aunt, but we know your soul energy is soaring high in God's love.

Aunt Beverl ( Janie) You will always be in my heart . I loved you so much. You & Uncle Grant were so special and loved Marc & I, as if we were your kids/ Grandkids. We will never forget you & the warmth that you always gave us. I'll see you soon!
