Dr. Beverly Dixon Wade... truly a great, remarkable, admirable person...inside and out. Her presence simply made you feel warmth and joy throughout. She always insisted on my acceptance to many of her invites to fabulous events. Kindheartedness and genuine concern was her nature. May her loving spirit always be remembered and live on forever....

Prayers and thoughts for the Wade and Dixon families as they lay Dr. Wade to rest today. She was a special soul. Taking care of her was an honor and though at times she may not have known she was still teaching, she was. I learned so much from her during her admissions. Lessons that I have recorded and journaled so that I never forget.

May her soul take the much-deserved rest the Most High God has granted.

Very sorry to hear of Dr. Wade's passing. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

This one is tough, but we know that our God will sustain and maintain those who are left behind. There will be only one Soror Wade and I'm sure going to miss her!

May God bless her family, sorority sisters and friends! Sleep well sweet Soror; take your rest!

To the family of our Beloved Soror Dr. Beverly D. Wade! ONE IN A MILLION! She had a smile that would light up ANY room. She taught me Biology 104 AND 105 and made that subject come alive! She pinned and initiated me into our Beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and later we became church members at Mount Pilgrim. She was my confidante, weekly AMC Movie partner, great debater and MUCH more! She will be greatly missed, but we rejoice knowing that she completely utilized her earthly body TO THE FULLEST and is now present with our Lord and her precious DONALD! Soror Bev, we love you NOW and FOREVER more!
