Beverly was a dear friend of mine, and I think of her often, especially in the fall when she and I would go on our yearly weekend to Maine. She always made me laugh, and she had a heart of gold. I know her family misses her too, and she will forever be in their hearts.

Dear Cheryl, Scott and Sarah,

My condolences and prayers are with
you on the passing of your mother,
and mother-in-law.

She was a great sister-in-law and I enjoyed knowing her ever since she married your dad on June 12, 1960.

She will be missed, but not forgotten, by everyone that knew her. Memories will
last forever with you of all the good times you shared together.

Love, Aunt Dot

One memory I have of my wonderful aunt was when I had my appendix taken out at age eight. She became my private nurse and I was very greatful to have her with me at Symmes Hospital. Thanks Aunt Beverly!
