My deepest sympathy to the Starks family. I was honored to have met Beverly thru our time spent working at Andrews AFB BX. She inspired me with every encounter! There is a hole now that cannot be filled; but special memories will always be there with every thought of Beverly!

Dear Family,
We deeply regret both the loss of your love one and the fact we're unable to physically be there to celebrate "our" friend, Beverly's life! Our friendship began in Germany and has continued 29 years through visitations and phone conversations. We'll always remember Bev's radiant smile and laughter that lit any enviroment. I cannot recall any anger moment beyond the word "dang" from her mouth. She was a rarity, epitome of love, a testament of true friendship...one I could share with, and confide in. I must admit though, of all the great fun times we enjoyed together over the years, nothing can compare nor is greater than our most recent Godly conversations shared as "Believers." We'll definitely unite with Bev again. (John 3:16)
I'm thankful to have spoken with Laverne and met Carolyn when visiting Bev in Germany (much fun too!) If ever passing thru Georgia, look us up.

Because of the amount of fun times we had together, those good memories will never leave. My "sister" in law will forever be close to my heart . I will always remember the fun times----We would spend long hours on the phone just talking, and sharing our thoughts and ideas. I mostly remember Bev going with me to my in-laws for cook-outs or meeting me for lunch. But the most memorable, was helping me coordinate my first date--from that moment, i viewed her as a big sister. RIP, Bev
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Brooks family and my brother.

When I'm gone
Release me, let me go.
I have so Many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie your self to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
Buth now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part
So bless the memories whitin your heart.
I wont be far away, for life goes on,
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near,
and if you listen with your heart,
you'll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say, welcome home.
I will truly miss my sister. Zenobia
