Can't believe it is already 12 years since Beverly's passing. I still treasure very fond memories of this lovely lady, wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. I continue to pray that her children continue to honor her in their hearts through the legacy she has left. I hope that you also remain safe during this Covid Panedmic.
Fondly, Diane Gentz

Sorry to hear of your passing. I only met you a few times, but you had a great personality and a light about you. You were a good friend to my aunt and uncle and I know you will be missed. May you rest in peace and may God give those you left behind the strength to get through this difficult time. God bless.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Family of Beverly Farrell:
I want to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. To lose a mother is one of the worst experiences a family can endure, but with your faith in God and the glue of your mother; you will ALL survive; personally I have for the past 14 years.
I want to share that Beverly and I only met less than two months ago but in those two months we shared times (happy & sad) and for knowing her, I will always be grateful for those two months (as her nurse & her friend).
God Bless ALL of you.

My friend Beverly knew that there was no real separation, only the illusion of it. When she called me last Sunday she said "It is finished and I love you." She was never concerned about whether what she said or did appeared humble before others because what she did and said was ordained by God, and maybe misunderstood by people. Sometimes the feeling of separateness creates a volcano of pain in human hearts. So to ease the pressure of our lives we must open our hearts to each other and to ourselves, and know that with love we will discover who and what we are and realize our connection to each other.
Beverly was ready to face the unknown and find her freedom on wings which transcended her limitations. I think that her goal was not to end the struggle, but to find the beginning of her freedom.
Today her spirit is capturing the dance of life in the rhythm of all our hearts, sunning on the beaches of our better natures, and watching the kites of our happiness dance. She is standing just beyond the fingertips of society and personality, and as we glance beyond our own shadows she will smile at us - silently singing to our souls those verses that will help us to fly.
Beverly did not do work for God, but He was free to do His work through her. She charged my soul with the fires of Truth and Love, and her message and spirit are alive and well in the hearts of countless women in the State of Maine.

Wishing you my deepest condolences from the depths of my heart!
With loving hugs sent your way,

Dear Karen and Joseph, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know what you are going through. I lost my grandmother in 1997 and my great aunt in 2005. She must have been a wonderful mother and grandmother. Please pass on my deepest sympathy to the rest of your family.
