Beverly was the epitome of the commandment to love God and thy neighbor. Her heart was filled with a goodness that caused her to pour out a loving spirit on others unselfishly. I often remarked that she had a kind word for everyone she met, without exception. All who entered her home received warmth and kindness. She and Tim were a remarkable example of a loving Christian couple, a team in business and fellowship. Although I was much older than Beverly, I learned so much from her example of loving kindness. She adored her family without exception and they returned the love. She often mentioned that she had a heart for her elder clients and friends and often said "God's got it" when difficulties arose. She was just very special and very easy to love. I join her family with my special memories and wish for them the " Peace that passes understanding. God has added a beautiful to his garden.

It was a joy remembering the times we shared in ministry serving. Beverly was always ready to be a support system for those in need. She loved her family, and her church family, and shared the heart of God with all that she came in contact with. Take your rest, my sister, our hearts are heavy, but heaven is rejoicing, Well done thou good and faithful servant of God.... Well Done!!!!

I will always remember Bev's kind and loving heart. She went out of her way to help others. I've NEVER known her to deny anyone who had a need that she could supply. There is so much good that I can say about Bev - the most important being she was a true servant and woman of God - loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. My heart is heavy but she's not suffering anymore and she's in a better place. Rest in the arms of Jesus Bev. I love you my girl!
