Bev and I met in 1956 when we both had basement apartments. We had so much fun! She was a great friend. We could always find something to laugh about!
May she Rest In Peace!

We will cherish the memories of many good and funny times we had with Bev & Don. They are both at peace now and together again.
I am so thankful I was able to spend quality time with Bev.We must have broken the record of playing "Mexican
Dominos" in a years time.
She was my best friend as well as my
loving and humorous sister.She was truly a grand lady and we will miss her however both she and Don will remain in our hearts forever.
All Our Love.

Dear Cindy & Jeff,
We were so sorry to learn about Bev. We have many fond memories of Don & Bev. She is no longer suffering and is with him "Side By Side". When we talked on the phone (not often enough) we always picked up where we left off the last time. Will never forget her keen sense of humor. She could always see the humor in most every situation. She will be greatly missed. How fitting to have the memorial on Dec. 20. If I am not mistaken that would have been their 57th anniversary.
Love, Carolyn & Don

To Our Loving Family. We all know how Aunt Bev made us laugh and appreciate the meaning of life, love and the importance of family. In this time of our loss, let us remember that she is now with Uncle Don and all of her loved ones who have passed before her. Let us remember that passing is a part of our circle of life, and that she is at peace. It is only we who grieve. She is content and watching over and protecting us now. We love Aunt Bev and will miss her forever....and she knows. Cindy, Louie & Famiy, Jeff & all of Aunt Bev's brothers and sisters, please know our hearts are with you.
All our Love,
Patty, Mike, Andrew & Trisha
