I am so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers.
Thoughts and prayers to all of you.
We are so saddened by your loss. We have so many wonderful memories of youth together and as Eddie reminded tom he was introduced to Beverley by tom almost 60 years ago. What a wonderful life, she loved and enjoyed her family. We had many long telephone conversations sharing about our children. She will be missed but know her suffering is over and she is with her Savior.
God bless you all.
Keeping you all in our hearts and prayers.
