Aunt Bev you are in a better place right now
Than ever been before;
All the pain is gone; you now are at rest;
Nothing troubles you anymore.
Your life in heaven has just begun.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
I know I'll reconnect with you
At the end of each life’s road;
I will see your cherished smiling Face
When I look up in the sky.
Please keep my Mom busy while your up there
She will be glad that you will be right beside her.
Please keep watching over the rest of the family and Relatives
down here on Earth. Have fun playing cards with the rest of the Family and Relatives up in Heaven.
He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His Hand
Gone from our sight, but never our memories.
Gone from our touch, but never our hearts.
She Shall be greatly missed.

Two of my favorite memories...I'm going to get the stick! and she wasn't afraid to use it on me. I remember Terry giving her a hard time for a haircut, she was mad, but Terry made her laugh when he came out with some of his hair taped under his nose.

Great aunt Bev I'm so glad to have been able to know you, you were a strong person. I always enjoyed coming over Wednesdays seeing family during our jam sessions. I cherish our laughs and memories we made together. I will always remember you saying how Ev would be bothered by one of the roosters on the farm picking at his bones and then one dinner the rooster ended up being dinner. Where Ev said you picked at my bones, now I pick at yours.
Please tell grandpa Gordon hey for me! We will see each other again! I love and miss you so much! I'm sure Pepper is happy to see you again!
