I am heart broken to know Bev has passed. I loved her dearly and will miss her visits to the salon, conversations, and wit. I always looked forward to her appointment and ahe has truly a joy to have known. I will continue to think of Bev every time I look at the cardinal sun catcher she gave me that hangs in my window. RIP sweet Bev, you will be missed by so many. ❤️🙏🏻

Im sorry to hear that Beverly has passed. Beautiful on the inside and out. My mom and her had great times together. So lucky to have had her a part of our lives. RIP Beverly 🤍
Beverly was a kind and super lady. Growing up in the late sixties and seventies, Beverly was like a second mom to me, and she would say I was like a son to her. She always showed kind interest in what I was doing with my life. She and my mother n law became very close friends as well. Tim and Karen (and Julie) did an amazing job caring for her the past 10 years. God Bless all of you.
