Dear Buster & Adam,
My heart was so broken to hear of Bev's passing. She was such a sweet loving friend to me, before, during and after our difficult pregnancy with Gregory Scott (Healthy & Well age 14 now).
She stood beside my bed in the hospital longer than anyone else, including my husband, because of the low temperature setting at 49 degrees, due to the magnesium sulfate I was on, to stop the premature labor.
It was snowing and schools were closed, because of the snow, and in my room, where she stood with her coat & one glove on because her other hand was holding mine, (you could literally see your breath, it was soooo cold in my room), while we talked and she comforted me, reminding me God was holding me and everything would work out for His Glory. And it DID!! Praise Jesus, for both her words and her friendship & love!
With the words she spoke on those same promises, I pass on to you, That God who knows our hearts is faithful and He understands the sorrow it has due to not having her here with us, but we can still hold on to His other promises and through His blessings and prayer for those who believe that We will all see her again on the other side.
Keeping you both close in caring thoughts and prayers for God's faithfulness to comfort your hearts & uplift your spirits and His mighty hands to carry you through this time of sadness to His place of perfect peace.
With Deepest Sympathy & Love,
Greg & Deana (Dee Dee) Severse
Alexandria R. Phillips (Severse) & Gregory Scott Severse, Jr.

Buster, I was saddened to learn about Bev's death. I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy. I remember with gratefulness my years with her at Culver, Calvary and Central, where we played in the orchestra. She was a radiant, joyful woman and I will cherish the memories of the times I spent with you and Bev. May God bless and comfort you and your family.
