Bob, David, Jeff, and Alicia I would like to say Bev is in my thoughts and prayers. she not only could take a joke but she could hand them out left n right. I remember when I had a double hernia operation she came into my room as I was coming out of the anesthesia. she started to make me laugh and I wanted to kick her in the b*** cuz it hurt so bad! I love that woman and I will greatly miss her.
Julie Redfern says
Bev was a wonderful woman. She was so supportive of me as a new bowler in Helena and even after I left Helena, would come to watch me and visit when I was in town for a tournament. I will miss her dry humor. My thoughts are with you all.

Bev was awesome. She was my Aunt and she loved the tenderloins in Streator. She was very cool. She will be missed and our thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

What I remember most about Aunt Bev was her great sense of humor, and her attention to detail. I regret that Merton and our daughter, Rebecca, never got to meet her. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob, the kids and all who loved her.

I worked with Bev on the surgical floor at St. Peter’s Hospital when I was a nursing student at Carroll College back in the early 1980’s. Bev was so much fun to work with and always made me laugh. Her patients loved her too–she was kind and caring but also a tremendous amount of fun. My thoughts go out to her family, she was a wonderful person.
