Beverly was a blast to be with, because as we all know, she wasn't shy about speaking her mind. Even when her feelings were hurt, she looked past the hurt and continued to love. Beverly refused to hold a grudge, so, if you're questioning her forgiveness, I assure you there was no bitterness in her heart before she left us.

Her laughter was bold and contagious. Without even trying, Beverly could make you laugh until your sides hurt. When Beverly danced she used her whole body as she truly danced like no one was watching. Some people exercised to stay thin and all Beverly did was dance the night away. Beverly gave her best in everything she took to task. She never forgot the smallest details and went to great lengths to make things perfect. All that Beverly touched was left better than before because Beverly touched with her extraordinary love.

Beverly worked very hard to make her contributions in catering uniquely tasty ones. She labored over recipes until they were perfected and those she loved didn't mind being guinea pigs to her fantastic creations. Beverly loved to entertain those she loved with great food and drink as often as she could. Beverly didn't wait for holidays or special occasions to entertain: She made all of her gatherings special for all present.

Jesse was Beverly's prince charming for the best 11 years of her life and Jesse's too. Beverly felt blessed to have found true love with her sweetheart, Jesse. With Jesse, Beverly's life was filled with love, friendship, and everlasting joy. Blessings abounded over celebrations of the birthdays of her children(from Jesse's first wife), grandchildren, niece, nephew, and their little ones. Beverly made a big deal out of these days because these people are those she loved without end. Beverly was never unkind to anyone.

God blessed all by allowing Beverly to joke, smile, and say the goodbyes we all needed in what were her final hours. Beverly's bright smile ushered her effortlessly into the glory of heaven where there is no pain, only love. Beverly loved to travel, so it is fitting that she has now taken the ultimate trip on an eternal journey with her savior and Lord Jesus. We are better people because of the bright Spirit that was Beverly our beloved.

Beverly was cremated, according to her wishes.

Let us remember Beverly's twinkling green eyes, her dazzling smile that gave us hours of laughter and her compassionate heart that filled each of us with endless love. Soar on gorgeous Spirit, we will always love and remember you.
