To the Mendez and Ryder families I am so sorry for your loss. I am the youngest of the Smith family (my Dad was Oliver) and Bev's Dad Edward was my first cousin. We lost touch after his passing but I have always wondered what became of this part of the family.Sorry I didn't realize you were still so close.

Dear Mendez Family,
Bev was my 7:30 AM nail client every Saturday morning until 2 years ago when I moved to Florida. One of my techs called me yesterday and told me of her passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. We had many many laughs together over our years together. I almost felt like I knew the family. Of course Artie...your name always popped up and Donna and all the kids. She loved you all so very much. I miss our weekly coffee klatches and laughing with her. She was a wonderful woman!

Auntie Beverly,
When anything happened in my life you were always there. You were my mom's right hand, her confidant, her best friend, her rock, her shoulder and her sister. In our own selfish ways we will miss you terribly but I am at peace that God spared you from a fate many others must endure. You were truly blessed and I take great comfort knowing that. I love you and will miss you forever. Watch over us. All the love in the world, Kelly.

We loved Bev and her natural wit. She was warm-hearted, kind and had a wicked sense of humor. She will be missed by all who knew her. She was a gem and one of a kind.
