Bev looked so wonderful, bubbly and vibrant when I saw her last week. I treasure the time I recently spent with both Al and Bev and their two daughters. I'll never forget her joy and smile when she looked at me and said, "I'm going to dance with Jesus!" I know she's been dancing a lot and smiling the whole time!! I love you all and look forward to hugging you as we say goodbye to another wonderful life taken from this earth. For those of us left behind, I always think of these words that have always been a comfort to me, and that is, "This too shall pass!" God bless! Judy Harris

Al, Julie & Jeanne - We are so very sorry for your loss and we will continue to pray for you all in this difficult time. We rejoice knowing Bev is at the throne of heaven with Steve praising God forever. It was a blessing to have prayed with Bev and you all in her final days and comforting to know she was ready to go home. We love you all so much!!!❤️🙏 “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 May God bless you all! Tammy, Sarah & Shareen

To know Beverly was to love Beverly. She also married into the Bergenske Family and became a wonderful member of the Bergenske/Waller Clan. Beverly was a nurse and I am a doctor so it was easy for us to have a meeting of the minds. She had a great love of family, love of God and always loved and appreciated that things be done right. She suffered a number of heart aches along the way, but her great faith was always there to buoy. She was able to handle the difficult situations especially with the death of her son, Steven. Sally and I received the news of her impossible condition and we all knew that her stay on earth would not be long. Nevertheless, Beverly gave us a strong good bye for the last time and we just knew that she was ready to pass to the other side without fear, buoyed up by her great faith.
Beverly, you will be mighty missed when the clan get together to bid you farewell, but in our hearts, you will always be with us. We will all learn from your great faith and thank you for the great example that you gave to us…Sally Bergenske Ouellette and John Ouellette MD..

Our families go back so many years and we have such wonderful memories. We've been through times of joy and times of great sadness. I think those times made us all feel like family. What a wonderful, long marriage Al and Bev have modeled for the rest of us! Al, Julie, and Jeanne, you will feel such a void without Bev, but it brings a smile to our faces thinking of Bev and Steve being reunited! We will, after all, be together for eternity someday. Jesus will keep his strong arms around all of you in the days to come.

Bev was fair of face and full of grace. Our families have shared joy, loss and life for the past 40 years. She always impressed me with her love of the Lord and her family. She was one of those ladies that there are too few of and I am blessed to have known her and her family. We offer our sympathy to the family at this time of loss but praise God for her home in heaven. Sherrie Frame (Satern) Cody, WY

Bev and I were not what you would consider real close friends but the few times we visited, I WISHED I could be her close friend. We had common ground when it came to nursing and faith in Jesus Christ our Savior. She was inspiring, sweet, the kind of caring person/nurse I would want at MY bedside, or friend holding my hand as I passed from life into Jesus' loving arms. Al, Dick and I have such wonderful memories of our times together. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Love and Blessings, Dick and Bonnie Fuerst
