Bev, you were special in so many ways; you were so encouraging and optimistic, yet realistic. You were always ready to offer a helping hand, good old-fashioned advice without mincing your words and you were deeply loyal to those you cared about. Our friendship developed over the years and you were there when I got married and the first person to help me when my daughter was born. We've shared much laughter and many hearty conversations over the years and I have an abundance of happy memories of you that will see me through until we meet again. Love you always.
