I am so saddened at the loss of my friend.  She was a great lady with alot of Jet spirit.  I will treasure the memories of the  Reunion Cruise and the week we spent together cruising as well as each time I spent time around her...a true joy.  I will miss her terribly.

It makes my heart ache to know that we have lost Bev.  I was so excited when she was able to make it to our Marianni's gathering in February 2010 and she seemed on top of it.  I'm so glad I got to spend some time with her and Rich.  Awesome people.

Rest in peace my friend.  I will cherish the times we had together.  We had such a good time on our reunion cruise.  I went and looked at the photos again.  The party in your suite was a blast!Fun, fun. 

Your family endured much through your illness and may they now have strength to know you are no longer suffering.

Love,

Kathy

Oh how it saddens us to hear such news.. Joe and I will never forget the time we had with you and Rich.. You were a wonderful person and very giving.. The memories we have of our cruise will never get forgotten... My heart aches for Rich and the family.. It is so hard for the rest of us to go on with our lives with a big piece missing..  God has great plans for you and we all know you will be looking down on us and laughing.. :-)  Thanks so much for the fun times you gave us..  Now you are at home and you can rest with out pain and worry..

I remember seeing Bev on campus at S'vale High while I was attending.  I never had the opportunity of knowing Beverly personally but I know that she is loved by many and will be missed.  It's very tragic when we loose our fellow classmates from SHS.  So many of my friends from  SHS are gone now and it saddens me terribly because I'll never see or hear from them again in my life time.  I know that Beverly is standing next to Jesus our Lord in Heaven.  Not just the class of 67 will miss Beverly but all of SHS Alumni.
Our Love, Mike & Sharon

I know our hearts are deeply saddened, but all the pain and suffering are gone for Bev.  Her courageous battle is over.  Bev was always so full of life!  It broke my heart to hear of her illness and now her death.  She had such an infectious laughter and was so full of life!  I have such wonderful memories of the cruise after our 40th reunion!  Bev and I spent several hours sunning together, reminiscing about high school, and catching up with the present.  My prayers go out to Rich and their family.  Life is short, and this be a reminder that we are one breathe away from where we will spend eternity - heaven's nearness is drawing ever closer!  Rest in peace, Bev. You'll always be in our hearts, as will the other Jets that have gone before us!
