I will treasure my childhood memories of visiting Aunt Bev in California. How she was so loving and comforting like our own Mom as we were on the other side of the country, miles away from our own home. How she loved her doggies "Champ" and "Misty".
I will treasure my handmade gifts I've received over the years. She always made sure everyone had something at Christmas and made a loving effort to make each and every person feel special!
I have always loved Aunt Bev's fashion sense. She's my bling-bling Aunt and every time I wear something sparkly I think of her!
I will always remember her love of Christmas and her passion for decorating every nook and cranny! It was magical and beautiful!
Thank you for your Love Aunt Bev! You added so much BEAUTY to the world in so many ways!!!! You will be greatly missed!

I am so sorry that she is gone. I love her so much. She was an amazing woman. She taught me how to do so many crafts, how to get a great deal at garage sales and thrift stores. :-) I was so lucky to get to grow up with such an amazing second mom and my condolences to her 3 awesome children who I will forever hold in my heart as my family. I love you guys and will forever miss Bev. <3
