Robert, I am sorry for your loss. You do not know me. I am Bill Hinman originally from Clarksdale, MS. Bev was a 2nd or 3rd cousing of mine. My father was Francis Hinman of Greenwood. His father was Preston Buckingham Hinman, her grandmothers brother. Our side of the family has drifted apart in recent years. The last time I saw Bev was in New Orleans at Aunt Adah's 50th anniversary as a Dominican Sister. I currently reside in Columbia, SC. I hope soon to contact Sid, your...

Dear Robert, Girls and family, please forgive my delay in this very sad condolence to all of you in the passing of sweet and loving Bev. She is an inspiration to so many and a star that will shine in the sky forever. She was a great friend in College and always. I loved her humor and her outlook on life, a lesson we all can learn from. I hope you will find comfort in knowing how many she has touched and inspired every day of her wonderful life here on this great earth. We all loved her and...

Dear Robert,
I just learned of Bev's passing from Robin. My deepest sympathy to you and Neely and Callie. Bev was a joy to know and I am blessed to have known her.

Hi Robert,
It's been many years since we biked the Blue Ridge Parkway with Sierra Club friends, but I was so saddened to hear of Bev's death that I had to write to say how very sorry I am for your loss. Although I only met Bev a few times long ago, I could tell she was a fantastic human being, and have many times since read about her in the paper and smiled, thinking of how happy the two of you must be. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers, and that I celebrate with you...

I, of course, have spoken to Liz and Jim (who is my cousin), but Robert and I both wanted to speak to the entire family to say how glad we are to have known Bev, even so briefly. She was a terrific person and brave beyond measure. I know the family is distraught at having lost such a presence. We will keep you all in our hearts during this difficult time.

We were quite saddened to hear of Bev's passing. She was a friend and partner in ministry who truly cared about young people. Our deepest condolences to Neely, Callie, and Robert and family. Our prayers are with you.

I am thankful to have known and have been a relative of Beverly. She was a wonderful person with a God given talent; not only artistic, but a talent for sharing. May God bless all of her family and friends. May we all remember her positive attitude and let it be an inspiration for us.

Bev was an incredible artist and an incredible person. I knew her and worked with her for years in the Guild of Charlotte Artists and the Watercolor Society of NC. Bev thought outside the box and her creativity was truly amazing, for she was always coming up with new and interesting ideas. She was a fabulous artist.

It was a pleasure so see Bev's always smiling face at church (St. Johns Episcopal) on Sunday mornings, accompanied by her charming family.

Bev was my "newest" cousin-in-law thru Robert's mother, Jane Quasebarth. My life has been enriched because Bev wanted to find her beloved husband's family and, therefore, I was able to to know just a bit about this incredible woman and her incredible family. I send you, Robert, Callie and Neely, my deepest sympathy. Words cannot really help, of course, but I hope you all are feeling love and support all around you. Love, Ruth Anne (Quasebarth) Carl, St. Charles, Missouri
