A true southern belle.<br /><br />Her influence is far and wide and she touched lives personally, professionally and through her writing. It will never be the same without her. Beverly will be sorely missed.M.V.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680136284255619758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-82561396758118249912011-04-22T07:13:06.493-05:002011-04-22T07:13:06.493-05:00Beverly was president of HOD when I became a membe...Beverly was president of HOD when I became a member. She was the one who approved my PRO status. And she never failed to give me a hug and called me by name. Although she was always smiling, always full of life, there was no quicker way to light up her face than to ask to see pictures of her new granddaughter. <br /><br />Beverly, there is a whole world out there who grieves for you, and we will miss you terribly. It's hard to say good-bye to such a special friend and mentor, but it's somehow comforting to know so many people share our loss.<br /><br />Keeping everyone in my prayers this day.Cathy S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-87086363275177309542011-04-22T06:47:48.780-05:002011-04-22T06:47:48.780-05:00Thanks for a beautiful memorial, Cheryl.

She was always gracious and kind to me. I didn't know her as well as some of the other HOD members, but she always made me feel welcome. I grieve with you and pray for her close, dear friends and family during this time.<br /><br />The world has lost a wonderful person. But we will always have her in our hearts.<br /><br />God Bless.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.com
