I am so sorry to hear of Bev’s passing. She was and always will be a special lady to me and my Mom Virginia Russell. She didn’t say much, but when she did you listened. She was a sweet person and her table mates at Eagles Manor loved her dearly. I pray that each and every member of her family remember the wonderful times that you spent with her as that is what she would have wanted you to do. She loved her family very much. Our prayers and condolences go out to you all. Betty Brewer & Virginia Russell

Kim, Cindy and to all of the other siblings: I am sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I always felt welcomed and loved when I was around Bev especially when she was winning the Thursday night bingo games! Prayers are with all of you.

Dear Family and Friends of Beverly Stewart – Please continue to treasure the many beautiful qualities and the talents of Mrs. Stewart. Also be comforted by these Bible promises. This is a difficult time because it was not God’s original purpose that mankind suffer and die. At creation, God was able to say that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31) Suffering and death was introduced through Adam’s disobedience (Romans 5:12) and inherited by all mankind. Jesus’ sacrifice restored hope of everlasting life in Paradise as was originally promised in the Garden of Eden. We are also promised that the pain that we now experience with this loss “will not be called to mind” in the future. (Isaiah 65:17) Hopefully the many Bible promises will ease the pain from this loss as you look forward to seeing your loved one again under perfect conditions. (John 17:3)
