Monica, Venia, Vernon, and Emma, Beverly will always have a special place in my heart. I shared so many "first" with her. She was a GREAT friend to my mother and treated Chuckie and I as her own. Betty and Beverly created "ride or die". Beverly didn't have a mean bone in her body and a smile that could light up the world. Beverly was never shy about sharing her love for her children and mother. I pray that you find comfort in the days to come and always remember the love she had for you.
