I worked with Bev for many years when she was in the Attorney General’s Office. We had some great, heartfelt conversations over those years. Sharing laughter and tears over children, grandchildren, work, life in general. A kind and gentle soul, strong, hard working and just a joy to know. Blessings and comfort to the Porch family.

I am so sorry to hear of Bev’s passing. I worked with her for many years at the Attorney General’s Office. She was a delight to work with and had an amazing work ethic. She was a gentle and kind person always willing to help whenever she could. I remember her wonderful smile and the twinkle in her eyes and how much she loved her children. May God be with you through this time of sorrow and wrap His loving arms around you. Our great hope is we will see her again.

Bev was a wonderful, kind and generous woman. When I moved here to be closer to her daughter, Kim, my good friend, she welcomed me with open arms. Later when I was pregnant with my daughter, she opened her home for my baby shower and it was lovely. My favorite thing about her was her welcoming smile and laugh. I can hear it and see her smiling face as I write this. She raised a wonderful bunch of kids who are carrying her qualities in them and passing them on to the future generations. Heaven will be a better place with her presence, even though she will be missed on this Earth. Rest in His love Bev.

Bev and I worked together for the Attorney General with a great team of people for several years. She was smart, hard-working, diligent, and kind. I will remember her fondly for our time together as co-workers and friends.
