To Bev's family,
We join with you in missing a very wonderful person. I knew her in High School and got reacquainted at each reunion. She was always appreciated by her friends and as her faith grew in God I felt a special kinship as part of the family of God. May His peace and comfort be with you now.

Dear Family of Beverly,
Beverly was a classmate at Roseburg High School. She was such a vivacious young woman. We had classes together, and I remember how fun she was. She was also a cheerleader, and was very popular. My best memory of her, however, was our visit at the 50th class reunion several years ago. She was overflowing with joy, having found the Lord as her Savior. I could identify, because I, too, am a Christian. No doubt she has touched many lives with her testimony. Eternity, alone, will fully reveal all that has been accomplished through her life. May God comfort you with the knowledge that Beverly is "finally home." --Joanie (Kruse) Peterson

Dear Family of Beverly,
Beverly was one of my classmates at Roseburg High. She was such a vivacious person. I remember her from classes together as well as her as one of the cheerleaders.
One of my best memories, though, was my visit with her at our class 50th reunion, where she told me of her changed life because of who Jesus had become in her life. Her joy was overflowing, and I could identify with that because I, too, am a Christian. No doubt God has used her in significant ways since she has followed Him. May her influence go way beyond her earthly life. Eternity will reveal all the lives she has touched. May God comfort you in knowing that your loved one is "finally home." - Joanie (Kruse) Peterson
