Bev was my best friend from 1st grade, and we have remained close all these years. I was in her wedding to David King, and was her son, Steve's Godmother. I will miss her terribly, but know that she is in a far better place, as life was not kind to her. My thanks to her cousin, Gloria, who looked after her in recent years. Wish I could have been there for her over the years, but she knew I cared and that seemed to be enough for her.
