I was so sad to hear of the passing of Beverly. She and Cal were such a shinning light of how to be great Latter-day Saints. I loved visiting with them in the Salt Lake Temple where they served so faithfully. I wish I would have know about her passing in time to attend the funeral.

To the Robinson children: I recently saw your Mom's obituary in the newspaper. It reminded me what a wonderful woman she is! I have always had the highest regards for her and Cal, and our associations in the ward and elsewhere over the years. What a great family! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this special time.

Beverly was my mom's (Lucille Thatcher) cherished friend. We have heard many wonderful stories of friendship though out the years. Watching them continue this friendship was a delight. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am sure that they both are having a wonderful reunion together.

Cal and Bev gave me my first job and kept me employed for eight years. I'll miss these wonderful people greatly. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
