Dear Beverly. I remember what a wonderful and kind neighbor you were. I always remember the last time we spent the afternoon together. I went and bought Elvis concerts DVDs. We watched almost all of them. You were swinging and swaying and singing along. You looked so happy. The next day you went to heaven. We miss you terribly.

Dear Beverly. Bob, the puppies and I are still missing you just as we did 3 years ago. I try to check on Phil and "the kids". Keep singing those Elvis tunes. Have you met him yet? Love Donna and family.

My Dear Artist Friend, Beverly,
It has been two years since you left this planet and I am still attending Bruce's oil painting sessions, remembering the fond memories of us painting --usually using our grandchildren as our subject matter. My most recent painting was that of my youngest granddaughter sitting upon the Nittany Lion at Penn State where she goes to college. I always enjoyed the compliments, advice & encouragement that we gave each other. There is indeed an Empty Space in the art room, that cannot be filled by anyone but you.
I hope you are still painting--those beautiful scenes that you are now observing in Heaven! Wish you could share your recent " Masterpieces" with us earthly creatures. Looking forward to painting with you in the near future.
I won't say goodby---I'll say See You later. Sylvia

Dearest Beverly, two years later, I still look up at your window wishing you're there. Bob, the kids and myself think of you so very often. Buster and Mellie, I'm sure, are happy to be with their Aunt Beverly.

Phil, Vickie and I are so sorry to just now hear of Beverly's death. As you may know she called Vickie and told her that hospice had been called in on June 9. I think she was saying her good-byes, although Vickie continued to pray for a pain free extended time. 1965, I remember watching the Harvest Festival Parade from your apartment when we first met as it went from downtown Roanoke to Victory Stadium down Jefferson Street. James Drury was the Grand Marshall. I remember going to the football game between Virginia Tech and Wake Forest although I am not sure we were together. I remember visiting you at your recruiting office across Jefferson as "the girls" were working on something. I remember you showing me a new way to get from downtown to southwest Roanoke going down Elm and crossing Wasena Bridge. But most of all, I remember our mixed bowling league team and only you bowling a decent game. Later, in 1972, just running into each other at breakfast at a motel-restaurant just off the Turnpike. And then y'all stopping by just a couple of years ago. Though apart all these year, Vickie and Bev reconnected. Remembering you and yours. May the LORD bless you and keep you.

To my Dear Artist Friend Beverly, I will truly miss seeing you in the studio- painting with you and sharing creative ideas, as we developed each painting from beginning to end. I sincerely hope that you will be able to continue to produce great art work with God in Heaven. Miss you and hope to see you again. THIS IS NOT THE END-IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING! Sylvia

Dearest Beverly, when I come home at night, I look up and wish, with all my heart, to see the light on in your window. Bob, the kids and myself, miss you terribly. I promised you I would water your flowers everyday. I wish I was able to have answered your last phone call. I'm so lucky to have had a next door neighbor and friend like you. To Phil, Brad, Karen, Craig and families, Beverly is now sleeping without pain. She's in Heaven with her parents and Max.
