Bev and my sister-in-law, Celeste, had become good “store friends”. Bev never failed to ask how my family was when she checked me out, and she always was pleasant. I am sure many customers will miss her and the conversations they had with her. My sympathy to her family.

I am shocked at this news! I spoke to her every time I saw her when I would visit from Virginia. We would share granddaughter stories…they were born a week apart. God bless all those who loved her. She was such a nice woman.

I am so shocked and terribly sorry to hear this. Bev was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. It was always great to see her smile when we talked about our boys. She is truly going to be missed. Cody, you and your family have Sam’s and my deepest condolences. May God be with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear this news. She will always have a very special place in my heart. When I brought my husband in the ER with his heart attack she had her mother there also. She came in the back and sat with me comforting me and holding me up until my family arrived. She seemed like my angel that night and now she has a beautiful place in heaven.

Cody, sorry for your loss. It would have been nice if my mom would have been called so she could have seen her son before he was cremated. She wasn’t even offered any of her own sons ashes. Good luck in your life.
