    My Sister was a kind and loving person. She always carried herself in a manner of a southern lady. She could always find something to talk about and her conversations could take you on an adventure. There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Today I discovered life goes on in Kelso Gil remarried. I hope this wife is as good to him as my Sister was. My sincere best wishes to all…hang in there David.

    So sorry to hear about Beverly. She was always so nice to Bob and Me. We sure enjoyed her newsletters over the years. She was also so supportive when Bob’s Mom and Jimmy died. Tell David that we will be thinking of him and everyone during this time.
