I just found out about Bevs passing & my heart is breaking. I have such lovely memories of Bev. I saw her one day at Methodist Hospital where she worked PRN in the intensive care unit & I worked on North 5 And we even went outside to have a Cig together. My heart is broken cuz Bev & I had so many Good Times going to movies & going Swimming & Scooping the Loop that VW Bug she Loved so much. This is just to hard for me to believe & have such Wonderful Memories Of yje Good Old Days! I will truly miss Her.

We knew Bev through the family. She was married to Randy's Brother-in-laws Brother. We didn't get to see Bev as much as so many of you did, but what I do know is that she will be missed by many and she will be looking over more than just her Family from now on.

For my dear friend, who taught me to balance on the rim. Encouraged me to stay focused on what mattered. Who brings warmth to my heart everytime I think of her. I will miss you at every turn.

My deepest condolences to Bev's family. Bev was a caring person. I last got to see her at a Bennett Reunion several years past as she drove our Uncle Donald to Kansas so he could go to the reunion. I'm so grateful she did, as it was the last time I got to see him, I never thought it would also be the last time I would get to see Bev my dear Cousin. You will be dearly missed.
