Beverly Rafferty

I first met Bev 20 years ago when I started dating her brother, Thorn. I fell in love with her and the Himel/Rafferty family that very day. Over the years we had our share of mishaps. Once we misplaced one of the kids in Central Park. Bev and I were told to keep an eye on the child in the red shirt. It didn't take us long to discover the child we were following, wasn't ours. He was still at the last exhibit and didn't know we had left. (Crisis averted.) At Christmas one year, our dog went...

While I don't recall meeting Beverly personally, I did know her sister Charlotte and her brother Neil especially Charlotte whom we all called Charlie. I know this is a difficult time for all her family and friends, and I wish to pass along my deepest condolences and sympathy. We allsupport you, and know that God is with you during this sorrowful time.

I had known Beverly and her family for many years, and she was truly a good person and a good friend to everyone. She was also quite an accomplished person, and we will all miss her very, very much! My condolences to all her family and friends!

Beverly was lovely, fun to be with and loved everyone. Bernie and I love and pray for Zenia, Charlie, Neil, Thorne Jr and her husband Jimmy, beautiful children Charlotte and BeBe. May God comfort each of you. We love you. Bernie and Brenda Dufour

Dear sister Charlotte,
I am so sorry for this great loss. I so enjoyed seeing Beverly when we were at our cottage in the Pass. She was so friendly and fun to be around. A wonderful life taken too soon. Take care.

I am so dreadfully sorry to hear of your loss. Beverly was a wonderful lady, she was giving, open, and so much fun to be with. Our family had just moved to NJ and knew no one when I was put on complete bedrest. I had 5 other children to care for and could not do any of the driving involved with suburban living. Our daughters were new friends and I called Beverly to ask if she could help me. It was the first time we spoke. For months, she carted my daughter everywhere. It was no trouble for...

Beverly was such a gift in my life. Our friendship began when our daughters became the best of friends when the Rafferty family moved to Acton in ~2003. What fun we hadbecause life with Beverly was FUN! Always a smile and such a joy for life. The strongest impression that I have of Beverly is her love for her two daughters, Charlotte and Bebe.She was a supermom in the most loving and real way. Family and friends were everything to Beverly. I loved that most of our plans included our...

Fly Bev, Fly! You will be zoomed to heaven. Thank you for leading the charge!!!! I am honored you called me friend. You will be missed. xo
