Today Casey, Bev's daughter, posted photos and videos of her mom on her social media. One video of Bev laughing as she walked into her car, was pure joy. Her laughs had varied sounds, and always were lucid and bold.

I was grateful that Bev was a great listener. When I called my brother (Bev's husband), she offered a supportive ear. On her deathbed, Bev perked up when I called my brother to see how she was going. And sure enough--she came to life one last time for me!
She had a wonderful sense of humor and great way with children and animals. Those are some of the best qualities anyone could have!
