    Grandma,
    Love filled your eyes in every moment, and with that you’ve filled mine. I’m never going to forget the times I got to spend with you when I came home to visit- the way you’d listen to my stories and hold my hand. I’m going to miss that. I’ll think of you when I hear the birds.

    Yours,
    Miranda

    Grandma you were the most amazing and beautiful person I’ve ever met. You would always make us smile. You had so much love in your eyes. You were always so soft spoken and kind hearted. Heaven received such a beautiful angel. We miss you so much. As painful as it is to no longer have you here with us it’s also joyous to know your home with grandpa in he can right now. Until we see you again we love you.

    Beverly was one of my favorite customers down at the 4 J’s. When I started waitressing there she’d always be telling me that I was doing such a great job. She’d said “If I owned a restaurant I’d hire you first”!! A very upbeat ,encouraging, and loving person. Heaven gained a beautiful soul. My condolences to the family.

    Ray and Barb swanson and extended family send their sincerest condolences. Bev was a wonderful neighbor for many years.

    Thank you Bev for letting us get to know you! You were always so kind to us. Our lives are so much richer for having known you! Thank you for being apart of our family too! You will be dearly missed!
