Charles & Lisa, Wesley & Wendy, Holly, Rob & Paul my heart breaks for you. Upon hearing the sad new. I was immediately immersed in the memories of a life well lived. Your mom had an air of joy around her. Just days before she had reached out to me and through words held my hand as I faced one of the hardest days of my life. Time & distance ment nothing. Family did! She will be deeply missed & I am truly blesses to have been part of hers
So, so sad to read this. Bev, Paul and I became special friends when we came together in North Carolina. I had some great times with them. I cried when Paulie died and have done the same in Bev’s passing. She was a special, special LADY❤
RIP Sweet Lady🙏🙏🙏
