I met Beryl and Nat when they moved in next door to our house on Papworth. This was a number of years ago, Janson has not be born yet.

We became fast friends from that time on. The four of us saw our first snow fall together, took or first trip to Disneyworld together and so many other things that it would take too much time to list.

Beryl called me on day and said to quit my job with Dr. Hock and come and work with her and become a travel agent. That changed my life.

It is hard to believe that she has been gone for a year, but I think about her everyday and she and Nat are in my prayers every night.

Beryl, BB, and I have been friends for the past 50 years.

We started as young married couples, becoming next door neighbors in shot gun houses, raising our children together and making many happy memories.

Beryl was my mentor in travel giving me my first job in 1977.

Whenever I think of Beryl I will think of fun.
