I will miss Seeing her every time I Drive through Town.

God Be with You Kent & Family!! Prayers are With You All!!!
We will miss you and LOVE YOU Aunt Bev!!
To the family of Bev. I spoke with her Sunday and Monday before she passed away. As always we laughed and spoke seriously about her condition and all those who die in the faith’s future. We rejoiced in Jesus together and what a day it will be as we gather together. She was a joy to me, a great laugh, and more than a sister. We spoke of differences that people have in their views. We talked about cookie cutter Christians, but more especially about our common love for the Lord. I cared so much for Bev and so wanted to see her once again. That will wait for now, but we lived in the hope of Christ’s finished work for all who believe.
Kent, Christa, Ceil and Marti, my deepest sympathy to you. As you know Bev was a very dear friend of mine for many years. I will miss her so much but am grateful that she is no longer suffering. Peace be with you.
Kent and christa so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you all.
It is sad for me to hear about Bev’s passing. I taught at Manor School with her in the Honeoye Falls School District. When she retired I thought that I would never be able to stay in teaching for over 30 years. I am now retired and I remember how happy she was to lead a different life after all those years of teaching. I am sorry for your loss.
Feeling your loss,
