Your Mom will be missed by OH! so many of her friends. I knew her from my days as Mgr. of Victory Mkts and we became friends for life. Then to my amazement Sandy my wife ran a swimming program for folks with disabilities. She tried to convince me to attend with all my health problems. It was like old home days with all my friends from New Berlin. Pam your Mom was a wonderful person, who although recently I have seen little but always looked forward to seeing her when I did, at a play or whatever the occasion.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Love In Christ.

Bev was a loving and caring woman of many talents. I remember her being brave and creative when she and my mother took a dozen young girls camping at Rotary Park in December in 2 feet of snow! How she remained so encouraging and supportive while teaching us to cook over a campfire, build a 'tent' of tarps over bent saplings and to put warmed rocks in the foot of our sleeping bags, was inspirational. Beverly, you are loved by God and by so many who will miss you. May all of her family be given God's peace and comfort.
