Just seeing this now, sorry so late. Sending my deepest sympathy. Dale, our mothers met working at a bank, I believe. She was always so warm and sweet. She could keep smiling despite her heartaches. Loved this woman and sorry I lost touch. She is among the angels now, with your dad and brother, chatting with my mom, and helping my dad find his way around now. Hugs.

Sending condolences to Beverly's family. My mom (Viola Sigourney-Babcock) and Beverly were friends for most of my mom's life. She passed in 2018. They went to school together and kept in touch by mail/phone. Beverly came to visit several times as my mom never learned to drive. She would always tell about their visits and I could tell how she enjoyed them so.....praying they are continuing their friendship now.....
