    Please know that my thoughts are with you, her family. She was a dear friend & though we didn’t visit each other we kept in contact by phone & correspondence. I told Beverly “goodbye” when I visited her at Healthcare Center. Many good memories between us. Until we meet again, my friend, may God rest your soul!
