In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I've known Bev it seems like forever and she will always have a special place in my heart. Her courage and resourcefulness made me proud to know her and look upon her in amazement. Though my heart is heavy with the loss of her, I know that she is in a better place free of suffering and pain. I will miss her terribly. I will treasure the family she left behind because they will always remind me of her. Love forever, Aunt Janice.

My husband and I met Beverly twelve years ago through the Oakview Community swim team. Our children were on the team together. This meant a lot of Saturday mornings and pot luck dinners. Beverly also served on the Oakview Rec Corp Board with me.

Even though we are sad, we are now at peace that our lovely Beverly who is a wonderful woman and fighter no longer has to fight. We can walk with our heads held high and know that she did not live this life in vain, but was here for a purpose. Her children will miss her, and I will miss her. Remember Nikki, I and the rest of the family are there for you. Love you cuz!!!!

I've known Beverly Edwards for a short period, but in that period she help me to realize you should always stand up and fight for what you believe in, even if others don't belive in what you believe in; and that it doesn't matter what others do to you as long as you are being true to youself and what matters to you. I will truly miss Beverly Edwards; she was definitely a soldier to the end.

I'v known mommybev and her family since I was about 3 or 4 years old. Her daughter and I became very very best friends and still are to this day. Our families have been thourgh a lot over the years but have always remaind strong, and it will not stop now. Though my heart is heavy, sad and crying out for her sweet face and smile, I know she is in a wonderful loving place with a man like no other man to take care of her every need. Stay strong Nikki and family. We love you so much that words will never be able to express. Hugs and Kisses xoxo.

I met Beverly 7 years ago when I joined Simpson Hamline and she was a happy person working with the youth ministry at the church. I remember her doing a 'soft shoe routine with a top hat' with her children. I am going to miss her spirit, I have never known anyone in my presence with that fighting spirit. I hope that fond memories of her life bring all of you peace. To Ben and all the family you have my sincere sympathy for the loss of your love one.
