Terry - I was so very sorry to hear about Beverly. May you find comfort in the fact that she is seeing beautiful things -- right now -- and that God has reserved a place for you - and for all of us in His Kingdom. Blessings.

Bev's family,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
My deepest sympathies, Bev trained me at UPMC Radiology and will be truly missed.

Terry & family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in your time of great loss. Bev was a truly wonderful, fun loving person & was also a great friend. We met while working at Community Home Health & always had some good laughs which made the days go faster. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
