It was truly an honor to care for and love Miss Bev in the last two years of her life. She was always a bright part of my days at work and I miss her terribly. I find peace however that she's in heaven, and most likely organizing some sort of choir that I will be volunteered to sing in when I get there someday. She was very special and I loved her.

Beverly, aka my second mom, you will surely be missed. I'm so glad we were able to have a closer relationship and I enjoyed talking about crafts with you at the house in Elverson. You were an itegral part of helping me get my first office job right out of high school at District Court. I practically spent my middle and highschool years at your house on Walnut Street in West Chester. All of you, Brett, Barry, Erica, Sonnie, and Mr. Johnson, are still to this day, my family. My deepest and heartfelt sympathies to you and the extended family during this difficult time. My wish for all of you is to be still in peace. Mom is whole again, orchestrating a chior of angels, I'm sure. Love and peaceful thoughts to all of you.
