Dear George and family: I am saddened by your loss because it is a terrific one, however, I take comfort in the knowledge that Beverly is now at rest peacefully. As I sit here a rush of images comes to mind from St. Mary’s or family events and I see Beverly. The last time I saw her was at my mother’s funeral in 2005, I know it took great effort on her part to be there that day. Be assured of our heartfelt sympathy and prayerful support as our mourn your loss.
