Beverly, I feel you are still right here with us. You have always been such a good child and daughter. It is hard to write my thoughts. Mom and I know you are now on a great vacation, we'll join you soon. We ask God to keep his arms around, we love you so much. Dad and Mom.

Lee, I miss you terribly. I miss your smile, your warm heart, our sister time together, our Bible studies, and especially our phone calls to each other. You showed me how to still have dignity in the midst of being so ill. You showed me how to love Jesus with my whole being while being so ill. I love you, Sis.

Richard,
How greatful I am for have been able to share brief moments with you & Beverly as you recovered from your knee surgery. She always demonstrated such a sweet loving spirit for which I am sure it was Christ through her. I will treasure her positive outlook and going the extra mile. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you have to adjust to this change. Just take each day, one day at a time and one foot in front of the other. Remember our Lord is right beside you and just lean on Him. Prov. 3:5,6

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I knew her condition was bad, but her spirit and will gave her the strength to continue on. She had such a love of life, although regretably she didn't have as long of a life as she deserved. I know these kinds of situations are always difficult, but I am glad at least she is no longer suffering. I wish all her family and friends the very best in this situation. My prayers are with you all.

Lee was such an inspiration to me. Her smile, laughs, and encouragement will be something that I will greatly miss. She was a walking testimony of God's love and compassion. My life has truly been blessed and I will treasure the memories of our time together. I am looking forward to the day that I will see her again and worship with her as we stand before our Lord and Savior!

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Beverly. I will always remember her strength and her inspiration. Everytime I saw her at church she would always hug me. Her love for the Lord never faultered. I hope that someday I will follow in her footsteps. I can see her smiling and her voice singing sweetly in the heavens as she looks down at each one of us. She feels no more pain. To the family I send my deepest sympathy. I will pray with all of you.

Beverly,
Your beautiful smile and your inspiration to all that met you will be greatly missed. I loved your leadership and singing with you in the Praisettes. Even though we all will miss you here on earth, it is wonderful to know you are now in your loving Heavenly Father's arms. There will be no more pain and you can sing with the angels. Your light will shine even brighter now.
