How sweet and precious is our Beverly and what joy to call her “sister in Christ”. Though great heartache is now here on earth without her, wonderful rejoicing is in heaven as she is embraced in the blessed and loving arms of our Jesus. My heartfelt compassion and loving prayers for you, Kelly, and your family!
