Dearest Mike,
I am devastated to learn of Beverly´s passing. I was in prayer this morning and you both came to mind. I came on line to check and see where you all were living now. I was led to her obituary... I am so very sorry for your loss. Even to this day you both are so very near and dear to my heart and my love for you remains steadfast as if we had dinner last week. I will be praying for you as you adjust to life without her and look forward to seeing her again one day when we go home! Please feel free to text me 252-725-1281. I love you,
Celia

This most lovely and gracious lady wholeheartedly supported me while I was in the Miss NC Organization. I am grateful for her kindness and her stoic presence! I am sending love and prayers to her family whom I am sure will miss this wonderful demure woman. She was a fixture in the Miss NC program as well as the Miss America organization.
