  2. Gary, Pamela, David, and Jimmy
    and to Kay and family.
    My deepest symphany to all of you. Words seem so little at this time, please know I’m
    thinking of you and I will be with you in my thoughts and prayers.

  3. Lyndon & Kay Kratochwill says:

    I have so many precious memories of Bev who was, for years, a substitute mother to me, and who continued as my big sister whenever I needed one. And, when Lyndon and I married, she stepped in again, as a substitute mother, helping with the wedding planning…cooking, serving,and hosting the reception at her home. I cannot imagine life without her presence. As life happens, our lives went in different directions, with our families become families of origin for our children. But Bev was a constant for me, in life and in my heart. My love and sympathy to all of you, her children and grandchildren, as you deal with this loss. Blessed be the memory of Beverly Ann.
