I just heard of your families loss and cannot tell you how sorry I am. I had only just met Beverly and had the privilege of caring for her for 3 nights. In those 3 short nights she touch me with her beautiful, loving, humble personality. I pray for your entire family and I know there is now another angle in heaven. God bless each of you.

Bev was such a dear friend to me. She was an incredibly thoughtful and caring person, truly beautiful to her core.

My deepest condolences to Jim, Lindsey, Mike, Heather, Andrew, and Bev's entire family.

Words cannot express our sadness at hearing of Bev's passing. She was in my prayers daily, but for some reason the night before she passed I couldn't sleep and for some reason she was on my heart to pray for much more than normal. Darkness only lasts for a night but joy comes n the morning. Our prayers continue for you daily.

Not a day goes by that we won't think of Bev and miss her dearly. She was one of the kindest women I have ever met. Words can't begin to express how deeply sorry we all are and wish we could just hear her voice one last time. It won't be the same without her there talking to us after Kidmo, laughing and smiling the way she always did. She is going to be missed everyday but I know she is there in our memories and we will forever hold onto those.
God bless we will be praying for you all.

Pastor Willie Cox

I would like to extend my deep condolences to Pastor Clayton and the family. I met Beverly and Jim more than a decade ago at Family Christian Stores where they shopped and I worked. To say that Beverly was a kind and sweet individual is like saying that Mt. Everest is a mere hill on earth's landscape - a monumental understatement. During our brief but meaningful conversations, her love for Jesus and ministry to children was undeniable. She wanted people to know that they are so loved by God.

The place that she held in the hearts of those who knew her will only be able to be filled by the presence of God and the peace of knowing she is with her Savior forever. The family is in my prayers and thoughts during this time sorrow. May the comfort of Christ be ever near.
