All Condolences -

Jesus’ death has made it possible for faithful humans to live as God purposed, which is life everlasting on a Paradise earth because at that time the “last enemy death” will be no more. (1Corinthians 15:26) (John 3:16). I have derived great comfort from these promises and I hope that you will also. These are promises held out to our dear loved ones that they will live again. May the fond memories of Beverly comfort you and remain in your heart forever.

Beverly was a beacon to local youth. She treated us with respect and strict discipline, and turned us all toward a better way. She always led us to greatness. Sure, lots of us got into trouble, but ALL of us respected her enough to not do it on her time. She was our leader, teacher and second mother. The memories we all made together will be cherished forever. Thank you, Beverly. Be at peace and we will all remember you with love, respect and joy.
