Beverly has been a fixture in my life ever since I started dating Brian when he lived with Nick and Bev. She was the total package: beautiful, smart and kind. We grew up through our twenties and thirties together and I witnessed her engagement, marriage to Nick, their many dogs (Jack, Eddie and Molly!) and then the arrival of her two beautiful boys, Andrew and Jacob. Beverly was passionate about many things in life, but above all else she loved being a Mom. Nurturing was in her soul: my own daughters have found memories of Beverly patching them up with a band-aid when they got hurt. They call her "their healer." :)
In the last few years, although we physically moved further apart, we continued to get together at The Creamery or Longwood Gardens, which was the halfway point between Lincoln University and West Chester. We loved watching our boys and girls play together, romping around Longwood, or chasing Annabel at the Creamery. The happiest I ever saw Beverly was when she was in the presence of her children: they completed her life. She was proud to be their mom. She lit up when she talked about them playing basketball. They are kind and sweet boys. Undoubtedly, this is partly due to her mothering and the abundance of love that she has for them.
Beverly, I know you will continue to watch over us and I pray for strength for your family and friends. We love you so much and will not forget you. You will live forever in our hearts and minds.
