Beverly was a VERY NICE and CARING PERSON who appreciated life and enjoyed the life she had. If the goal in life is to love and be loved than Bev lived a FANTASTIC life. filled with laughter,love and most of all LOVE of FAMILY. Bev's Legacy is her love for family....Aunt. Sister and Daughter but her life as wife to Bill was the icing on the cake as they got along and went through good and bad times always running the race and winning. Bill and Bev were the very essence of what a marriage should
be and Bev is the real CEMENT that kept them together for soooo long.....
Life is short but LOVE MORE

Rookie,
I am so sorry to hear about Bev. She was a terrific lady who always had a big smile on her face. When I first started working for the Department of Employee Trust Funds, Bev taught me a lot. She was smart, funny, patient, and helpful. Bev always smiled when she talked about you. It was clear she enjoyed her life with her hubby—you made her very happy. Cherish the memories.
Hugs, Rhonda (Yapp) Dunn
