Tony and family, my heart aches with the loss of Beverly. I have known Beverly since the day she was born. She was three when she was my cute little flower girl at my wedding. She was beautiful and intelligent and loving to everyone. So glad she knows Jesus as now she has eternity . My prayers are with the family.
Tony and Bev’s dearest loved ones, Grief can be like doing a remodel on a house… sometimes you have to come totally apart before you put yourself back together. Please know that we are here for you during this terrible time when you are too busy to be able to fully take a breath in and out, let alone allow yourself space to grieve fully. Bev was dear to many, and her loss affects many hearts. I am thankful to have met her and hug her, because she gave great hugs. My heart hurts with you.
Tony and family,
We were so sorry to hear of the death of your wife and mother.
We have many fond memories of Bev and the Corvette Club.
Sending you prayers for strength during this most difficult of times.
