My condolences to Dan,Debbie, Dave and Loree and family. I first met Bev when we moved to Whitehall when I was 2 or 3. Bev and I reconnected a few years ago she was always up for a visit. We reminisced about her time in choir with my mom and dad and about singing in a trio with my mom and Mrs. S. Bev was such a wonderful lady. I will miss her until we meet again some day.

Dan, Debbie, Dave, Loree, Doug, Sarah, & great grandchildren, Bev was such an incredible person always with a smile and a happy thought. She was a pleasure to know not only for her sparkling personality but also for her deep faith. God granted her many years and we who knew her are so blessed!
