While we were growing up, aunt Bev was one of our favorite people! She and Charles were just the kind of people we wanted to be!
So sorry for your loss, Claudia. Your mom was so special. God bless you.

We are so sad to hear of Beverly's passing. Although, we did not know Beverly personally with such a talented and wonderful daughter, we know Beverly must have been an amazing person and a terrific mother. Our prayers are with your family and friends at this difficult time.
