To all those that knew her was to know that she was as genuine a person as you'd ever meet. All you had to do was hear her laugh once and you'd never forget Bev. And did we ever laugh at family gatherings! I only wish we would have lived closer so we could have spent more time together because time with Bev was always joyous. Thinking about those times will always bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace Bev

So very sorry for your loss. I knew Beverly from Connect 55 as my mom lives there. She was one of the nicest people. She reminded me of my MIL. I will miss seeing her and talking with her. My prayers are with all of you.

Bev,
She was a great mentor, both a kind and compassionate nurse. I learned so much from her. I am so glad we kept in touch after her retirement. Rest in peace dear friend.
