So sorry to read of her passing. I baby-sat her as an infant.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Beverly Weakley. Beverly was a teacher at Monterey Park School when I attended school there from 3rd grade thru 6th grade back in the 60's. We moved back into the South Salinas neighborhood and our son attended Monterey Park, guess who was his kindegarten teacher, Mrs. Weakley. I have so many fond memories of our visits with her, my son thought so much of her. He looked forward to going to her house every year at Halloween and during her walks in the neighborhood after her retirement, she always stopped by our house on Pajaro to say Hi and see how Guy was doing in High School. We've exchanged Christmas Cards since Guy was in her kindegarten class. We moved to San Diego in the middle of 2006, and knew Beverley was in a special home in Southern California. We're so sorry to hear of her passing, she was truly a very special lady, and a one-of-a-kind teacher who'll I'll always remember, as well as our Son. God Bless you All.

P.S. I actually attended grammar school and middle school with Craig, and she always talked about both her children and what they were doing, she adored you both and the grandchildren.
