    Angie and Eric, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your momma to pieces. If I would have known she passed I would have been there today. Please take care of yourselves and I am so very sorry.

    Jerald, Eric & Angie: Some of my fondest memories are of the Beavens household and of your dear mother. I just learned the other day of her passing and regret missing the funeral of your wife and mother. I can still remember vividly coming in the back door of the house walking up the steps to the kitchen with Paul when we would be out and about. Your mom would be there to greet us before she would go out. She always had a great smile and words of wisdom. I often think of my best friend Paul, and now I will be thinking of Boots to. I am happy in the respect that Paul now has his mom to keep him company. Best Regards to you all, Mike
