Beverly Reid Sowder

Just two nights ago i had a friend laughing hysterically over stories of how the Sowders entertained themselves with the harmless pranks they played on unsuspecting house guests. Beverly's charm and composure was a brilliant cover for her dry wit. I send my love and sympathy to Stuart and the rest of the family.

Don and family, I want you to know that I was very fond of Beverly. She was always so kind to me when she was in Martin Jewelry while I was working there. I always looked forward to her coming in. I know that Eleanor will miss her so much. I have fond memories of visiting your home in Fairfax Station and also of being at Alison's wedding when The Lost and Found played for the reception. Please find comfort in all of your great memories. Love, Barbara Parker

Don,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to
you and your family. Her warm smile will be missed at RRUMC. Our thoughts and prayers are with.
Richard and Sharon Smith

Dear Don, We are so saddened by the loss of Beverly. She was the first person to welcome us to Roxshire with her sweet treats and warm personality. I loved seeing her ride around the neighborhood on her bicycle, always smiling and stopping to say hello. She truly cared, was genuine, and always listened. I only hope that PM and I will be able to share 51 years together as you did. All the best. Love, The Mansfield Family

Alison, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. I know how precious she was and how dearly she will be missed. I know you will find comfort in the arms of our Lord who loved her dearly and blessed her with a loving family and many friends. Please know that I am lifting you and your family up in prayer. Love, Beth

I am saddened by the death of a lovely lady and friend, Beverly Sowder, and my heart goes out to Don and their family. Beverly's death is a great loss to all of us who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

Beverly was such a lovely lady. She is a big reason why my husband and I stayed at River Road UMC when we moved back to Richmond. She greeted us warmly and sincerely and made us feel at home. I will miss her smile, her laugh, and her comforting presence. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Sowder family.

Allison, I want you to know my heart,thoughts and prayers are with you and your family on your loss.It is a very difficult thing to get through,but you are an amazing daughter that Beverly raised.Your mother was so sweet.She is with Him now and at peace.May GOd comfort you and your family.Love and prayers, Jean and Karlton Eddleton
