It doesn't seem like a year has gone by since I saw you last. It was good to have seen some of your friends today at the cemetary and the angel. They said some nice things about you and that you were one person that will never be forgotten. I believe that you touched alot of people the short time we had you here. I pray that they will always strive to get closer to Christ while still on the earth. That way, they will be sure to see you again. So much prayers and support has been shown to us over the last year and I am very thankful for them. God will see us through everything. I will always have a special place for you in my heart, baby. I love you and miss you so much. Mom

2005 is coming to a close. A new year is among us. It will be a whole year without your smiling face and bubbling personality soon. We've been through birthdays and holiday seasons without you. Somehow we have felt your presence with us throughout the year in one way or another. During the season of Christmas we have heard from so many of how you are still thought of and missed. I wonder what it was like with you spending Jesus' birthday with Him this year. Our love for you Beverly will always be in our hearts. We miss you, Mom

My wish is that your family and friends have all healed as much as possible and that you are the happiest 18-year-old up there. I also wish for you to watch over all of us here who think of you every second, minute, hour, and/or day. Just keep your eyes on all of us and watch out for us. I know you have our backs, but help us watch our fronts and sides too... things and people can tend to sneak up on you from every angle. So watch over us please. You will never be forgotten... we love you soooo much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEVERLY DIANE ROSS!

I guess it's things like this that makes people realize just how short life can be. It hurt so much to here what happened and it still does. Just this weekend I've learned that my Uncle Chris passed away. I didn't know him very well. He babysat me sometimes when I was little, but when my parents divorced 12 years ago, I lost contact with my father's side of the family until just recently. I was going to visit my father in Hilton Head a couple of months ago but I was running about two hours late. When I got to my dad's I was informed that my Uncle Chris and Uncle John had tried to wait to see me but as they live in Rhode Island, they had to leave. I only missed them by an hour, but it made me sad to hear that I had missed the opportunity to get in touch with them after 12 years. When I was told that my Uncle Chris passed away this past Friday, it didn't really hit me until I called my dad. He was so upset. His youngest brother, only 32 years old, passed away. My father was devastated. It was then that it hit me. A 32 year old man, healthy as a horse, died from internal bleeding. Then I started thinking about all the other people I knew who had passed away before their time should have come. I thought about Bev, my friend James who also was killed in a car accident, and Wayne who died from Leukemia senior year. How is it that so many young people die every day? It just doesn't add up. I guess God really did need more angels. They will all be deeply missed, but I know that they are watching over me and everyone they befriended and loved. I miss you Bev. I will see you again someday. I love you! R.I.P.

Hey sweetie, It's been 6 months and alot of times it feels like yesterday. I still go by the angel almost everyday and throw you a kiss. You are still missed by many. Your smiling face and sweet attitude will always be with us and I will always carry you close to my heart. We still feel your presence in the things we do. I love you and will be seeing you again one day. Mom

Mrs. Ross,

I've lived around the corner from ya'll my whole life. i can still imagine beverly standing on my front porch waiting to hang out like she did so many times. i learned so much from her. the greatest thing i learned was how to laugh. she made me laugh, mostly because she tickled me EVERY TIME i saw her. i miss her so much. and seeing you and chelsea at swim team reminds me of her. mrs. ross, the light in you reminds me of beverly. talking to you is like talking to her. as much as i want to cry and miss her, i can never forget every little moment we had. and for that i am forever greatful because there was never a bad moment to reflect on. from staying the night and talking about boys, to the "secrets" under the bridge, i vow never to forget, and that means she can never be gone. i love her and i wish my life could even come close to as great as hers, and then hopefully i will get to see one of the greatest friends i've ever had again one day...

To the friends and family of Bev,

I am so sorry for everyones loss. I did not know Bev that well, but I know who she was. The last time I saw Bev was at her Church, she was doing a play. Her performance was spactacular. Even though I didn't know her, she would always say hello to me in the halls of Summerville High School. I remember her most for her beautiful eyes. They were so honest, and sincere. I will never forget her.

Kelly Freeman

March 15, 2005

Beverly was a wonderful person. Her death makes me think. It makes me want to let people know how much they mean to me, because you never know what will happen tomorrow. The last time I saw Bev was at lunch the day before she died, and the last thing she said to me was to tell my boyfriend hi. I thought I was going to see her the next day, but now she's gone. It's like she just disappeared.

Kira Smith

Chelsea Ross

February 27, 2005

I am Beverly's little sister Chelsea. I miss her so bad and I know you do too! She was such a good sister and a good friend. I thought of her as my sister and sometimes she made me feel like she was my best friend! I love her and miss her. I lost my sister and my best friend on that day. I can't wait until I see her again!!!

Kolie Varney

February 26, 2005

Mr. and Mrs. Ross:

There are no words great enough to fully explain how wonderful Beverly was. I attended two of her birthday parties/sleep-overs, along with many others, and had a great time just hanging out with her. She was truly amazing! The two things that stood out about her the most to me was that (1) She was so active and faithful to church, and (2) She didn't care what you looked like, what you wore, or anything like that... she was always a person that you could count on to be your true friend. And I wish I could tell her thanks for being there for me whenever I needed her but I can't, so I guess I'll thank both of you for raising such an angel. You and your family are in my prayers!

Alisha Kemmerlin

Mandy Smith

February 24, 2005

To Mr. and Mrs. Ross: I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter and my prayers are with you. Beverly was a great friend to me. I met her through Jonathan Roberson and from then on she was always there for me. I didnt know her as well as others, but she still was like family to me. She was a great friend; always joking and cheering me up even when I had had a bad day. Beverly was a beautiful women and very smart. I would've loved to gotten to know her better. It's still hard to believe that she's gone. It's amazing how she touched so many lives, and even in spirit, she still is. Again, I am very sorry and you will always be in my prayers.

Alisha Kemmerlin

February 24, 2005

To the parents of Bev:



Your daughter was a blessing to all of those who knew her. She touched so many people's hearts till to count them all will take ages. Even those who didn't know her was stuck with compassion for those who knew and loved her. Even though she is not here in body, she is still dwelling among us in the spirit. Her soul still touch our lives. So no matter what, Beverly will always be here and with us.

God bless you.

I can only imagine the sights that Beverly is seeing now. There will always be a place in my heart for her where I will hold the love I have had for her since birth. She has definately been one of my blessings in life. Mom

Elaine Ross

February 22, 2005

Beverly was a very beautiful and special young lady. I should know because she was my daughter. She always had a smile for anyone in need of one. People knew of her faith just by looking at her. She had a light shining inside and out. Her eyes were the prettiest I have ever seen and her bubbly personality made it easy for anyone to be her friend. She loved helping out in the nursery at church as well as going out with all her friends. I want to thank all her friends and extended family for sharing their memories of Beverly with us. Please feel free to come by anytime you need to talk. She is already missed so much by us and I know she is missed by you also, family and friends. The comforting thought is that Beverly is in heaven now and that we will see her again by just trusting in the Lord Jesus. Thank you for all the prayers and visits to support us in this difficult time. I know she would like everyone to find a good church home, if you don't already have one, like she had so I pray that you will. May God bless you, Elaine Ross (Beverly's mom)

in memory of those who died

we weep solemly wishing for them to somehow revieve.

and return to us as they once were and never leave anymore.



somehow we know this cannot possibly be

but still wish for that one little moment when we kissed them goodbye for the last time

and stall them for a little time.



To Mrs. and Mr. Ross, i cannot begin to compare my feelings with that of yours. but it kills me to think of people going through the same trouble i went through several years ago, but in my case it was not my own child, i was her child and still am. i hope that some day you will be able to live on, but never forget which as humans we never will. my best wishes and prayers are for you now.

sincerely, cecilia

Bev. was an awsome gurl! Everytime I needed to laugh or be cheered up she was there by my side! Bev was always so cheerful, helpful, and happy. I dont think there was a day that I ever saw her mad or upset and if I did then something was really wrong, but over all she was a great person and she will be greatly missed! She will always be in my heart and her family.

Love,

FLOWERS IN A GARDEN



Once in a garden

A small seed grew.

If only we'd known

That time was so few.

Sunshine and rain

Changed the seed to a flower.

Time was running out,

Hour by hour.

The flower gave great joy

To everyone near.

Spring's almost over,

Why this sudden fear!

Before the time came,

The flower gave us seeds.

Winds carried them gently,

Filling all the world's needs.

The seeds were love,

Scattered around.

Try not to be sad,

The flower is found.

Picking up the kids at Tastee Freeze, spastic laughing fits, scrounging for pennies in my van and her smile are the things I'll remember best about Beverly. Your daughter was a blessing to our entire family... Embraced as a sister by all the kids and utterly adored by two smitten little boys... She was the kind of friend you want your kids to have. During a time when her dad and I couldn't see her struggles, Bev was a lifeline for my daughter and I'll always be grateful for that gift.

Your family is in our every prayer. We grieve with you and thank God for allowing her to touch our lives.

Beverly was one of the nicest girls that I ever dated. Her life was good one she had so many friends, everyone that was friends with her thought of her like she was a little sister. She had a way with people when they were upset she help them through it. And for this she will be missed alot. I will never find a girl like beverly again. To her family/friends i give my deepest sympathy to i know how hard it is right for them.

Beverly was a great person and i can definatly say she will be missed. She will stay in my heart forever and i will meet with her again in the next life time. It is really heard to let go. And it makes me so sad that i just saw her like 5 mins. before it happened. She said "see you later Helen" and i never saw her. If only she would have waited a little longer. She was such a great friend and i will never forget her little bird noise she made that used to get on everyone's nerves, but now everyone misses that noise because if was what made her unique. To the Ross family, my heart goes out to you even though i dont know you all that well. I cant even imagine what you are going through. Just hang in there and remember she is watching over us and we will soon meet with her again!

~I Will Be Missing You~



You were so full of life,

always smiling and carefree.

Life loved you being a part of it,

and we loved you being a part of me.



You could make anyone laugh,

if they were having a bad day.

No matter how sad we was,

you could take the hurt away.



Nothing could ever stop you,

or even make you fall.

You were ready to take on the world,

ready to do it all.



But God decided he wanted you,

so from this world you left.

But you took a piece of all of us,

our hearts are what you kept.



Your seat is now empty,

and it's hard not to see your face.

But please always know this,

no one will ever take your place.



You left without a warning,

not even saying good-bye.

And we can't seem to stop,

asking the question why.



We didn't see this coming,

it hit us by surprise.

And when you left this world,

a small part of us died.



Your smile could brighten anyone's day,

no matter what they were going through.

And I know every day for the rest of my life,

we will be missing you.

R.I.P.

Beverly Ross aka "Bev"

We love & miss you!

I will truely miss her and i will always keep her in my heart! also to my good friend Christina, keep my number handy, i will always be there for you! Much Love to you and your family!

Beverly and I were close. We talked about everything. Even personal things. Every time i was angry or upset she was right there. Telling me it would be okie,but she would be on my side for everything, no matter what. She was always there. I guess you don't know what you really got until its gone. Now i wish i told her more how much i appreciated her and how much i loved her. i would give her as many hugs as i could. I remember her the day before the accident and i think that time will stick in my head forever. She was so happy and excited. She was laughing and enjoying life. I know she had a wonderful life and she will always be with me everywhere.Im sorry for her family and i send my thoughts and prayers to them. I know it is very hard for them and i send all my sympathy.

Beverly was a good friend of mine, and i'm grateful for the time i had with her. These past few days, it was hard to believe she's gone, because she was always so full of life and smiling. She always listened when i had a problem, and didn't let me cry. I'll always have her in my heart, and remember her at tastee freez.. eating her 2 tastee burgers with ketchup only and laughing.

I just wanted to say that I am so sorry about Beverly's death. I didn't know about it until Wednesday when I got a not on my dorm door to call my mother and it was very important. I was unable to make it to the funeral, but I will be coming home this evening to visit with the family and friends of Beverly. Mrs. Elaine, I am so sorry. I will be visiting with you this evening or tomorrow morning, if you don't mind. I just want to spend some time with you, Mr. Tim and the girls. The last time I saw Beverly, she came to my graduation party in May. When my mom told me what had happened, I felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your family while I am in town. I should be home around 5:30 this evening and will probably be leaving around 2:30 or 3 Sunday afternoon. I will be at your church Sunday, so I am almost certain I will see you there. I'm deeply sorry for you loss. I love you all like my own family and I hope you knew that. I will see you this weekend.



Love always,

I did not know your daughter, but am truly sorry for your loss. My in-laws lost a child trough a boating accident 2 years ago and I know the pain you must be feeling. I hope it comforts you to know people who dont even know your family are praying for you to find peace and comfort. From what I have heard of your daughter, you must be extremely proud of the child you raised and feel wonderful she is now in the loving hands of our Father- never to hurt again. God bless you and your family. Sincerly, Melody Keller

I was a really good friend to Bev. She was a wonderful girl, and a tremendous person. I will always remember her bubbly personality and the way no matter what was wrong she was always smiling. She never let me cry she always told me stupid jokes and made these noises that no one could resist to laugh at. I will miss her and I have learned that through all of us Beverly still lives on. I will remember the power of her life everytime I pass by the angel outside of my neighborhood.I give my deepest sympathy to the Ross family especially Christina.Love Sarah Reddish

I can relate to your loss, but Courtney was not quite 6 mos. old when God called her home. Her personality was real to us, but your years of memories will be greater as was your bond to Beverly. The bonds the sisters have are those to which Bridget and I can relate and we hurt with you as you go through this trying time.

Love and prayers,

Cassi & family

Dear Tim, Elaine, Christina & Chelsea,

Although we grew up miles apart, we were kept updated on your lives by Aunt Ruth (Mama Ruth)as she proudly displayed pictures of you and the other grandchildren. She was especially proud of her great-granchildren. Beverly's picture always reminded Mother of Bridget when she was little. Cassi, Bridget and I have always been close as were your girls. My "Mama Cleon" recalled Beverly as she talked with her after Uncle Lester(Papa Lester) died. She talked at length with her and was so very sweet. As we have read others have nothing but kind words about her sweet life. We cannot imagine the depth of your sadness, but we see how her death, as well as her life, has touched so very many lives. Our thoughts and prayers will continue for you and your family in the days ahead. God will surely comfort you as no other can.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Valerie and Seth - I was heartbroken when Adam called to tell me of your loss of Beverly. There are no words that I can say to comfort, but know that my prayers are many. She was so beautiful at Valerie's wedding! I am glad I get to hold that memory. Much love and comfort to you all.

I will always remember my first day of school when Beverly was in my gym class. I did not know anyone and she started talking to me. As time went by We started talking more and she became a dear friend to me. She even offered to take me home. When i heard what had happend my heart went cold. I could not believe what happend. she was a sweet girl and probably one of the nicest people I will ever meet. I am glad I got to meet and her and even though I didn't get to know her very well I'm happy I became her friend while I could. I will never forget her and she'll be in my heart forever.

Love Always,

Brooke

It is heart breaking to hear of your loss, my daughter was her friend and as I leave my subdivision and see that beautiful Angel strewn with flowers on the side of the road I can only cry and pray that she is watching over all of us and keeping us safe. It was gods will, even through the our pain she smiles.
