She showed me so much love and generosity when I was young. I will cherish those childhood memories with her and the family. She was so funny without trying to be, and fiercely protective of the ones she loved. I hope she is at peace and knows how much she was loved.

I'm absolutely heartbroken! Beverly and I had the most unexpected, yet beautiful friendship (not to brag but she always referred to me as her BFF)! I loved Beverly, not only was she was a force to be reckoned with, she was also the strongest most resilient woman, I personally have ever met! I'm blessed to have known her and even more blessed to call her my BFF. She's going to make one hell of a guardian angel for everyone she loved! I will forever cherish our time spent together! May you rest in eternal peace my beautiful BFF!
