Kim and family and Larry and family: I worked with Bev (and Bob and Diane) many years ago at Caterpillar. Some of my favorite memories are of those days, sharing many hours with them. We really did have such fun working together. Bev was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. May your beautiful memories of her help you thru the sad times ahead and may you have the best Christmas possible knowing she is with her sweetheart Bob.
