Not sure what to say?

I had the distinct pleasure of practicing law with Beverly at Miller Hamilton. She was a super bright attorney, and a true leader. I went to her on several occasions for legal advice and mentoring and always received much, much more. I will never forget her.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will miss you. You were always a delight when you came in to get your nails done. We laughed and laughed all the time. You will truly be missed. I received this horrible news about 3 weeks ago and was devastated.

Your Manicurist,

Beverly and I went to law school together and clerked together. She was brilliant woman with a magnetic personality and wicked sense of humor...the perfect complement to Jim’s quiet, stately demeanor. I loved being around both of them. I have thought of her often over the years, and I will always regret losing touch. Bev was an amazing woman and I feel privileged to have been her friend. The only thing she loved more than the law was her family. May your memories of her bring you peace.

Beverly you will be greatly missed such a beautiful woman inside and out your friend Kathy Parks

Paula, Leslie and Paige, I am so blessed to have known your mother. She was an inspiration to me. She was a wonderful example of the modern woman and how to be one with class and strength. Birmingham will never be the same without her presence. Much love to y'all.

My only aunt, bless you may you rest well with your sister, my mother!

Mama, you are my best friend. I will always miss you. We are lost without you. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. Please hug Rowan and Daddy for me.
