We really enjoyed spending time with your mom and dad over the years when they visited us in Ohio. We will miss Beverly but we know she is with her Lord and Savior. We are praying for all of you during this difficult time.
Thank you all for the kind Heartfelt words. I know they enjoyed going out to visit you all. We will miss her forever yet she is still close In our hearts 💕
Barbie and Ronnie loved your parents. They were that extended family, they spent so much time with Judy and Dave. They both were great people and a wonderful cymbal of Gods goodness to all. May she RIP and be with her Heavenly Father. Hugs to you and Ronnie. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Virginia, you all were an extended family to us. Remember your mom and dad and grandma and grandpa Whysop. It was always one of the Christmas stops. ❤️ Now mom and dad are gone to be with the Lord. What a beautiful promise for those of us left behind that we can all have a reunion there with all those who have passed before us. God bless you for the kind words 🙏
Beverly, you were such a blessing to me, I thank God I had the privilege of meeting you a couple years ago. I enjoyed all the times we spent together. You will always be in my heart. I will never forget you.
I know she hears you Paula and appreciates the help and friendship that you gave her. She is with the Lord now but I believe she can still look in on us all ❤️
When Beverly came to visit us at the farm she would bring ice tea with her. I had always used lipton ice tea and did not like it. Lipton ice tea is terrible so when I was growing up I stopped drinking ice tea. I loved Beverly’s ice tea and would drink a lot of it. When I was on my own I call Beverly and asked her how she made her ice tea. I would make the ice tea by the gallon and loved it.
Thank you John for the fond memory. She loved all of you, her brothers and sisters and the highlights of her years was always to come see you all. God bless you John and hope life is treating you well with an abundance of love 🙏
