Karyn and Family,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your mother. I have many fond memories of singing in the DPC choir with Beverly directing and playing the organ. She was a wonderful Christian woman, a fine musician, and a great band parent. May God comfort and strengthen you all during your time of grieving.
