Not sure what to say?

Bev and her husband were friends of my parents when they lived in Iowa City. (Jim and Anne Smith.) I believe Mom and Bev met at the MadHatter Tea Room - my grandma ran it. Bev corresponded with Mom (Anne Smith)ever since she moved to Wisconsin - for over 50 years! What a true and loyal friend she was to Mom. Peace and many blessings to her family.

I am another Nixon family descendant - I met Beverly for the first time at a reunion some years ago and talked with her on the phone earlier this year. The heritage we share was a common interest, and I will cherish the memory of her interest in the family. Blessings to her children and sister.

Beverly and I had the same Great Grandparents and shared an interest in our families. When we moved to Des Moines, she would call to catch up with me and see how we were doing. She was such a loving person and I truly will miss my cousin and friend. My sympathy to the entire family. Susan Cornwell Langwith

Beverly never held back correcting Mike and I if we were doing something that displeased her. Harold was strong and stable. I learned to listen carefully when he made a suggestion.

Beverly was a huge part of Highland Park Christian Church. Both her and Harold were strong in their faith and community. 'Good people' - Beverly will be missed by all, but will be at peace with Harold. Blessings to the Poore family.
