I first met your mother in 1948 at St. Catherine of Siena School. The nuns told her to walk me home after I fell in a mud puddle or something of the sort. We reunited in 1971 when Aunt Laura introduced her to Beta Sigma Phi and we have been together ever since. We have had a special bond through the years and laughed many times over the story of her punching me on the forehead and causing a scar, which was a joke by the way. I will miss Bev every day for the rest of my life. She will be in my thoughts and prayers as will all of you.

To Glenn, Christine, & the entire Harper family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Beverly's passing greatly saddened me. She was such a wonderful, pleasant, loving woman. She was always smiling and had the best, most positive attitude. I always enjoyed seeing her when I was in town and will miss her. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time. I always thought of Beverly as an angel, and now she truly is one. Peace & love to you all. R.I.P. Beverly
Love, Melissa & Cliff Oliver

Bev,

Those road and plane trips with just us were fun, especially the ones to San Diego.I am sorry you had to go before our New York trip with Glenn, Marie, and baby Michael, but it appears you were called to Heaven to fly to eternal bliss and happiness with Jesus for your ultimate healing. I love and miss you. You are so kind and loving, and a great mother to Glenn. Thank you for the 10 years we shared. Hug my dad for me in heaven.
Love, Christine

Ronnie, Jan, Karen, Glenn and Jennifer,

Thank you for sharing your mother with me for the past 20 years. The times we all shared with Mimi over those years will always be kept close to my heart. She loved each one of you and your spouses with all her heart. It has been a blessing to be part of such a strong family and to have had Mimi as my mother-in-law and the grandmother to my children.

I love you all!!
Your brother-in-law - Reg
