    Barry and Megan my heartfelt sympathy to you and all Bev's family. She was such a wonderful person and friend. When I started working at Social Services I felt like an outsider, I wasn't a social worker and didn't work for the State I worked for Brighton Center. Bev was the first person to make me feel welcome and included. In short time I discovered how fantastic all the workers there were but Bev was the first to smile and say "nice to meet you" . I loved her from that moment on. Although I've moved away and its been awhile since I've seen her we stayed in touch on facebook. She'll be missed.

    Barry and Megan, so sorry for your loss. Bev was such a sweetheart and great to work with. She was a life saver for me many days at CHFS. She was always singing those great oldies and taught me a few! Continue to remember you all in prayer. Alice Kelly

    Barry and Megan, you and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. If there is one word for me to describe Bev...it's "love". Her heart was filled with compassion, caring and love. She was a such a wonderful friend who loved me unconditionally. She shared her experience, strength and hope for many years. She is and will always be in my heart.
