Sue, Joanne, Peter & the Brooks family,
I have so many fond memories of your Mom! I grew up just down the road from her and would often visit her. She was a great friend to the entire neighborhood! She was such a loving person with great sense of humor. She was loved by All that knew her. Love, hugs and strength to all if you.

I have missed Bev terribly since she moved away. I had no one to help make flights for! I will remember her for her great sense of humor and positivity, our talks and her stories about my Gram. She will be dearly missed. Much love to you Joanne & Sue.
Love, Mandy
