I worked with Beverly during my early years in the 90s at the Putnam County Sheriff´s Office. I loved her so much. She was such an amazing woman and a hard worker. She will be missed.

Haven´t known Bev very long but will remember her smile each time we talked. Also whenever I hear `holy cow´ her face and smile will come to mind.

My sympathies to Larry, family and friends.
