My heart goes out to the family of Bev. My loving thought and prayers to David and Matt. Many years ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with a beautiful lady at our family establishment. She was always smiling and had a way of making everyone laugh that was around her. I still and will always cherish those days at the Dallas.

Time and distance always have a way of changing our lives and those in it. I have soooo many great memories of Bev and Dave and the kids. I could write for hours! I cannot think of her and not smile or even laugh a little. From the many 3 wheeler riding experiences to our women's softball team. My heart breaks for those she leaves behind. I wish I could be there. Please know I am thinking about all of you and share in your sadness. Love to all - Kim
