Not sure what to say?

Beverly, I remember your Mom, (and Dad), as such warm, loving, fun people. Whenever I came over to your home, during our college days, I always felt like part of the family, not just a visitor.

My deepest sympathy to your entire family.

Your mother was a sweet lady and I enjoyed getting to know her on the Jefferson Unit where my Aunt Margaret Parham is. She will be greatly missed.

Bonnie,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember, as children, playing over at your house. Your mother was always so kind. I can picture now the warm smiles she always had. How proud your parents must have been of you all.
I wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts.

Dear Beverly and family,
Steve and I were saddened to read of your mother's death. She was so warm and giving that I always thought of her as a friend, not just your mother. In this holiday season especially, but for all times as well, I wish for y'all to have peace in your hearts and joy in your memories of both your wonderful parents. Love, Kay and Steve

We on the Galpin side of the family were sadden to learn about the passing of cousin Catherine (as my Dad use to know here). We only met a few times in the past. We also know her a little from her recordings of her childhood memories. She seemed to be always positive and cheerful.

Dear Beverly and family, I am so very sorry to read of the loss of your mother. I remember her from 4H so very many years ago. Hold on to your memories of her and pass on her wealth of knowledge to your children. God's blessings on each of you at this difficult time. Cheryl Burnham Nicholas
