My condolences to the entire family. She deeply loved her kids and grandkids. Bev and I were 'partners in crime' very often during our lives on Woodland Drive in Forest Lake. SHe moved to AZ and I moved to FL and we never managed to get together again. Bev, I will see you in our afterlives. I promise.

Beverly and I were neighbors and attended Junior and Senior High together. She was so excited for me having my son attend my high school graduation! She was my best friend and I will miss her dearly. I was so looking forward to seeing her at our 50th class reunion in 2018. Prayers to her family.
