Remembering my sister-in-law, Beverly, who always remembered others on birthdays and special occasions. When on her travels, she always took time to choose a lovely gift to bring back to me, and routinely called to see how I was doing. She was a creative and impeccable seamstress and her wonderful quilts are in the homes of many her loved ones. I was a little short in the sibling department having my brother, her husband Gene, as my only sibling. So her thoughtfulness for years after his death meant a lot and I sure miss this connection.

Miss Beverly as we always called her was one of our favorite customers at MidSouth Sewing. She enjoyed her sewing and it was always a pleasure to see her come and what beautiful work she had completed. Almost always she was creating a master piece for one of her children or grandchildren whom she adored. She was wonderful and will be missed. Think of her family at this sad time.
