Beverly , my cousin by birth and my sister by heart and love.I have never known a sweeter, kinder more loving person. My memories are many, as we shared our childhood. Beverly, Betty Jo and Charles and my sister and I were always at each others homes. Their home was at Pine Ridge Dairy. Beautiful land for kids our age to play and climb trees. As time passed I watched her get ready to go see Elvis Presley in Orlando. Beverly wore a pink and grey taffeta dress that her Mother had made just for the occasion . She was so beautiful and her eyes were so pale blue like parts of the ocean. I always thought that she looked like Liz Taylor. Then came marriage and her wonderful sons. We went with family to Daytona beach one weekend. Beverly and I shared a rented rubber raft. After a while in the water, we looked up and saw everyone waving at us. Never dreaming how far out we had drifted, we waved back and kept on talking and laughing. Was not so funny when life guards came and pulled us back to shore. We laughed many a time about how unaware we were of everything on that raft ride except for what ever we were talking and laughing about. I baby sat her boys and loved spending the time with them. Then as time went on I went on a blind date with Beverly and her husband. Turns out I married this man. But before that Beverly and I decided to make a trip to TN. We have two tickets and two boys. It took 23 1/2 hours. Babies in our laps , there was no I 75 and I 24 up the mountain at that time. One of the bus stops we got off , went in and changed one of the boys diaper. Almost missed the bus , finally made it to TN to the boys grandmother and grandfathers home. That bus trip was something else but we laughed our way thru and never forgot our trying and happy trip. I loved Beverly so much. I will miss her and her soft spoken voice and smile. She always had a smile, always. I decided to share memories that some of you know and some do not. I was blessed beyond saying to have Beverly in my life. We knew that life was fragile ,to handle with prayer. Beverly down the road, I will arrive at that mansion in the sky. I know you will be there , arms open and a big smile. Tell your Mom and Dad and mine that we will all meet again. Love you and will miss you always. Emma Joy

My Mother, Beverly, was one of the most kindest and loving persons I will ever know! She was a very good Mother in every way! Growing up, she provided me and my brothers everything that she could to make a happy home with an abundance of love. She taught me a lot of great things growing up and gave me so many great memories to look back on. Mom, you will be missed terribly by me and so many others. But you will always be present and live on in my heart. There will not be a day that goes by that I will not think about you and miss you. But I know you are not suffering any longer and you are resting in peace now. Until we see each other again, I Love You Mom!

LOVE, STRENGTH, COMPASSION. just three of many wonderful traits my mom had.
I recall how hard she worked for us three boy's and how hard she worked for our family.
never giving up, never complaining, always doing her best to provide for us.
All the pep talks, all the times she would say "through me lies the strength for you to be a wonderful man" You will be deeply missed Mom. I LOVE YOU...Larry

Beverly was one of the most beautiful women , inside and out that I have ever known. We always told her that in younger years she looked like Liz Taylor. Her eyes and her forever smile will never be forgotten . We were so blessed to have Beverly in our family. I think her biggest thrill before getting married was her trip to Orlando to see Elvis Presley. Her Mother made her a beautiful taffeta dress , pink and med. grey . She looked like a princess. I remember her best friend in high school . Maxine Cumbie and Beverly let me in on some of their girl talk although she was three years older than I. In her married years we decided to ride the greyhound bus from Leesburg to TN with two children in tow. At that time by bus it took almost 23 and 1/2 hours. Long ride with only two seats and four of us. Almost missed the bus at a stop where we changed the youngest child's diaper. Laughed til we cried when we got back on that bus. I was 17 and she was 20.
I went on a blind date with her and my husbands brother in an old cool 1950 or 1951 green mercury. Turned out that he would be my husband. We loved to laugh and have fun.
Beverly and I got out to far on a raft in Daytona Beach , we waved at all of the family and friendly people waving at us. Little did we know how far out we had drifted and those waving hands were trying to get us to come in, we never managed to go forward the life guards had to come out and take us back to shore. Everyone was a little upset with us but we had the best raft ride and conversation and giggling of all times. We didn't realize how dangerous it was where we had drifted. She loved riding in her husband's baby blue Chevy Convertible (1959) especially to Daytona.
Mark and I when we were dating played gin rummy with Beverly and husband at their home. Really fun and happy times.So many truly wonderful memories that I have of her and I just wanted to share some of them . She raised three fine boy's that she loved with all of her heart. Beverly I know that you will shine with all of your beauty in that beautiful mansion in the sky. I will see you again when I climb that ladder going home. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Please say hello to your parents and mine. Emma Joy
