To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me -

When I’m gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. I thank you for the love you each have given me, but now it’s time I travel on alone. So keep the memories within your hearts. I won’t be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call, and I will come, though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near, you’ll feel all of my love around you, soft and dear. And if you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and open arms and say WELCOME HOME!

Sympathy to your Families! So sorry for your loss. I have lots of memories of my Aunt Bev. My Mom told me Aunt Bev tried very hard to get me to walk before my brother Mike was born. I was 11 months old. I don't think it happened. I was flower girl in Vic & Bev's wedding. I was 6 years old. I remember making home-made ice cream when their family visited us on the farm. Olive Garden was a special place where she liked to eat. I worked with Aunt Bev at USAFI many years ago. She was always a very special Aunt and Friend to me. I'll always remember her laugh. Love to Aunt Bev's family.. Pat Slapak

My sympathy goes out to Aunt Bev’s entire family. There are so many special memories of our large Beran family get togethers, Uncle Vic making most of the Wedding cakes, Aunt Bev always laughing, being at Grandma and Grandpa Beran’s for our many Christmas get togethers. Things were so much simpler then, now we have lost the last Matriarch of our Beran Family and even though we didn’t see each other often things will be different. When I was born my dad and Aunt Bev had the daunting job of naming me, it was more than 29 years ago! So Aunt Bev had the honor of naming me Diane June, and to this day I am proud to carry her middle name. It’s not easy to lose a parent, especially your Mother, but be like me I carry her laughter, her smile and her love close to my heart every day, those strong Beran genes will get you through, like it has me. I’m sorry I can’t be with you, but know that my heart is with you and my love is shining through to all of you. Diane June (Rasque) Froh

My condolences to Bev’s family. Beverly was a good friend and dedicated coworker from FPL. My office was next to hers so we interacted many times each day for business and an equal number of friendly chats. We remained friends after her retirement and for many years, we continued those friendly chats at the annual retiree luncheon. Her infectious smile will be missed.
