You and your family are in our hearts/minds/prayers for the loss of your mom and grandma. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to know Beverly. We had some fun times together in our teen years. Beverly always had a big smile and a terrific sense of humor. I have one fun thing to tell her kids about. One night Bev and me were going uptown and we wanted new outfits. We went to what was Place's at the time and found these orange and green outfits. So of course, we were excited to go uptown and show off our new clothes. Once up there we came to find out that our NEW clothes were actually pajamas!!! Beverly was mortified and all I could do was laugh. Also, Chester was always waiting for us when Bev, Wanda and I got to their house, and we always had some excuse for being late. I could go on and on, but I won't. Although I had not seen Bev for a few years I thought of her often. She will be missed very much. Fly high Beverly you are now one of God's angels. Love you!
