John, Cheri & Leo, So sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Mum and wife. Bev was indeed a lovely lady and it was a privilege to have know her. With Sympathy, Susan Dupont & Family
My deepest sympathy to the family. I'm thankful for the years I spent as part of Bev's family as her sister-in-law. May God be your strength. You are in our prayers.
My heart goes out to you all. Bev was my quilting friend and I will never forget her as she taught me so much and gave me my first embroidery machine. She was so kind and thoughtful of others and generous to everybody she knew. I will miss her! Jillian Schoenfeld
