I only just learned of Beverly's passing. We went to Junior High and High school together and were both involved in the drama department. Beverly was a character! Funny, smart, full of energy and a talented actress. I saw her at our 20th High School reunion, and am so glad we had a chance to talk then. I am comforted in knowing that she was a Christian. My condolences go out to her loved ones.

Her loss has left an emptiness in my heart that time will never heal. Bev was my best friend since 2nd grade in Metarie, and we still spoke almost every day. I knew this funny, amazing side of her, and I still cannot help but smile when I think of all we shared. My love and sympathies to her husband, children and siblings. Beverly brought so much to our lives, and her love goes on in all of you.
