I´ve known Bev over twenty some years. We first met each other from working at the eye group. We just clicked and became the best of friends. We have had so many great times just talking and laughing. She was always making me laugh. She loved loved loved animals and that was another reason I loved her so much because I also had that in common with her. She loved my two furbabies Lucie and Elmo. She would watch them when my husband and I would go on trips. She will greatly be missed by me and so many others. I´m sure that Heaven will never be the same my friend. Lol. Love you chica!
