Earlier today

Dear Jeff, Mikayla and Betsy, I am so very sorry to hear this devastating news. Beverly was one of the kindest people I've ever met. We first met when Betsy and Logan were taking gymnastics in Norwich--when they were 4! Her smile was simply transcendent. May her memory be a blessing. Pace e ben, Jan Scheiner, Peter Mills and the whole family.

I first met Beverly around 2005 when she was in a pivotal life moment. At that time, she became an incredible addition to the Ray School special education team. For the next 15 plus years, Beverly kept our department ship legally afloat with her clerical strengths. She dismissed our encouragement to get fully certified, being a humble one, but really she was that good. She pursued specialized literacy training that made her even more invaluable, as she stretched our intervention capacity with her exceptional teaching of students. Your energy, humor and "let's get it done" approach are missed. All the best to family.

I enjoyed getting to know Beverly and she will be missed. Her skill set is was rare and very important to me as I began a new job. My thoughts go out to her family and loved ones.
