I was lucky enough to spend several years with Beverly when she moved into Southwick . Bevy was a beautiful soul with a big heart and infectious laugh.I´m fortunate enough to have many wonderful memories of her whether it be her nightly Wheel of Fortune, lemon cookie and peanut butter crackers,fighting over which one of us got to tuck her in and say her prayers with her , Bev blowing bubbles on the weekend or our trip to North Carolina to celebrate the holidays with her family these are just...

Dear Condon family, I'm not sure if you remember me, my name is Nicole Vincze. Beverly always called me Nicklelynn. I was one of the lucky people that was there for Bev when she first moved to Depot street. I worked with her for ten wonderful years. My favorite part of each day was when I would first arrive at work and find her waiting at the door for me. Her beautiful heart and loving spirit were a large part of what made that house a home. We will never see anyone as special as her again....
