To all of Beverly's family: How blessed you are to have had her for so long! I didn't really know Beverly well until after Jamie died. When I was in school there, she was very busy teaching, taking care of children, and being supportive of her husband. When I visited her at The Links, we shared a lot of memories, and after that we communicated regularly. John and I visited her every time we were in Fayetteville; and in between, we talked on the phone often. I tried to keep her posted on all our mutual friends. Every visit was an inspiration: she never complained and was totally non-judgmental. She shared pictures of her big family and told me about each member. I cherish the time we had together and the card she sent me a few weeks before she died. Thank you, Rusty, for letting me know about her death. I am sorry I couldn't be there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Nancy Russ
