Beverly,

Just heard about your loss and am sorry to hear. It's been a long time but you are often in my thoughts. I remember your mother as a 'hot ticket' and sounds like she was to the end. I wish you health, prosperity and happiness as time passes.

Dear Bev-
Words cannot express my sorrow at your mom's passing. I know you were very close to her and you both shared so much life together ~ your shopping on Saturdays, including your stops at Saveurs and the lunches that followed; the holiday cooking or dining out. I am so proud to have known her. She was always so stylish and full of life, going to the track by bus to bet on the horses or dating - you would never guess her age in a million years! She's truly my inspiration! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always.
With much love,
Rita

We were so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I loved hearing the stories about her. She was one woman who never looked her age and always had oomph. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love Julie, Jim and Family.
