I was so very sad to hear about Beverly´s passing. Bev was married to my cousin Tony but we always thought of each other as real cousins. She was so sweet, kind and full of laughter and life. I know she loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart and was so proud of each one of you. My sincere sympathy to Tony and the kids. The Doyle´s all loved Beverly as I know you all did. She is in God´s hands now and will surely reap the benefits of her
kindness and generosity in life . RIP. Sweet Beverly.

It was my honor to know Bev and spend time with her, especially at the farm. She was one of a kind--hardworking, loving, lighthearted, straight shooting, smart, and fun. My heart aches at her sudden passing. God bless you all and bring you peace--Tony, Rocky, Jana, Jaime, Frank, and all in the Campanelli family.

Bev was part of a special group in elementary school. Us "shorties" were always first in line. That special bond and friendship continued through the years. Gentle rest to you Bev..,

My friendship with Bev began at United Airlines where we both worked. After we were both furloughed the same day back in 2004 we remained friends. I knew our friendship was meant to last. My mom died on her birthday and Tony and my mom shared the same birthday... yes we this was a friendship the would remain. She was always there for me if she wasn't at her beloved farm. I was fortunate to spend time there with her, enjoying her many stories. Her contiguous laugh and our similar views on life. She had a big heart. I am going to miss those calls with her. Everywhere she went someone knew her or her family. I am truly honored to be among those who called her my friend. I will miss you, Bev. Tony, Roc, Jaime, Frank, Jana, Deia, Anthony, Peter and Michael, my sincere condolences to you. She was proud of you, all. Thank you for sharing her with me. I will miss her.

I heard Beverly's laugh before she even walked in the door, the first time I meet her. She was wrangling her kids into the YMCA for hockey. Stroller, big purse on her arm, with her little ones going every which way! We became fast friends. Life was always a little more exciting when Bev was around. I will miss her dearly. Our deepest sympathy to Tony and their kids.

I am truly heartbroken. Beverly was an exceptional person. I could always count on her to help me out, If she was in town and not at her beloved farm. We began our friendship at United Airlines over 20 years ago. We were furloughed together in 2004 and remained friends. I always told her we were meant to remain friends as my mom died on her birthday and my mom and Tony had the same birthday. I will miss her stories. I always told her where ever you went someone knew you or your family. I am so truly honored to count myself as one of the lucky ones be have been your friend for all these years, Bev. My condolences to you, Tony, Roc, Jaime, Frank, Jana, Deia, Anthony, Peter and Michael. She truly loved you all so much Thank you for sharing her with me. Rest in Peace, my friend!
