My deepest sympathies to her children, family and friends. I'm writing after being lead to your Mom's picture and onward to the terrible saga....I'm so extremely angry right now. Mrs. Beverly as I called her because we were really close in age and there she was assisting my counselor at Buffalo State College. I know one thing for sure your Mother was one of the purest spirits I've ever encountered. We spoke often of the spiritual world so I know her children knew her well. That's exactly what she would have wanted y'all to do as far as making every effort to insure her medical rights. Like I said I'm angry right now. I must push through so her loved ones know that my sympathies of their loss is what I want to convey foremost. I agree your Mother was definitely regal always available to talk to and vent to...Rest in Peace Mrs. Beverly.

I just want to express my sympathy to the family of Beverly Whitehead. I am a real estate agent and your Mom called my office to find an apartment for Jaime. We talked on several occasions as I was unable to find an apartment that she might be looking for. I only had her work e-mail and was unable to connect with her. Her love for her daughter made me work harder and harder to help. My sympathy once again goes out to your family.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8. I know that this is a very difficult time for all of you. You have my heartfelt condolences. Beverly was a fun loving person. Remember all of the good times that you had and remember that her spirit will always be with you.

Beverly was such a beautiful spirit. Our family became linked with the Smith´s decades ago through Miss Juanita and there´s still a special bond to this day. Beverly was always a hard worker, studious and determined to make it in life. Amongst many things, Beverly´s success can easily be seen in her 3 wonderful children and her enduring career at D´Youville enriching the lives of so many students. In the bible, Matthew states you will know them by their fruits and clearly Beverly´s legacy will include the great fruit she bore.

She was a phenomenal, resourceful woman who could always be counted on for a great laugh and to tell the most interesting stories. Beverly was always willing to help everyone and use her vast network to find a solution.

To her children and siblings, my heartfelt thoughts go out to you in this time of sorrow. May we all take comfort in the wonderful memories. I´m thinking of you all and sending you love. She´s gone from your sight, but never from your hearts. She has earned her wings.

I met Beverly almost 40 years ago when she was an EOP counselor at Buffalo State. We see each other when we were out recruiting Freshmen. The one thing I will always remember about you almost always had a smile on her face.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I'm deeply saddened by Bev's passing. I worked with her for over 20 tears at DYC. Her kindness, sense of humor, and caring nature stood out. She will be remembered by many--for many reasons and for many years.

My deepest sympathy to the family & friends of Beverly. I worked with Beverly at DYouville and know that the heart & kindness she had for her students was a gift to all the students she served. We became friends when our offices were located on the 4th floor of Koessler (KAB).
I will share with you what someone told me when my mom died..."Your mother is now an angel, watching over you, protecting you and guiding you with love". Let the memories of your mom's life give you the comfort you need during this challenging time.

Ms. Bev, words can´t express my gratitude. I´m so grateful that your children allowed me to have a piece of you! You helped me in more ways then one. I can say so much about how a wonderful person you were, I mean every time I seen you, you had a smile on your face and gave me a hug. You touched my life and I´m so blessed to have had you in it. Thanks for the taco salads for my birthdays and talks. I´m going to miss you. May you Rest In Peace.

My family and I are truly heartbroken as Bev was loved by us all. She is the reason I became a nurse-she helped me all through school and beyond. She became a close friend of the family and her smile and laughter would light up the room. She had so much love and pride for her children. My heart breaks for them. The world has lost an amazing and beautiful person. With love and sympathy-Lise Hernandez
