Sorry for your loss. Bev had a great personality and was a kind and giving person. In reading her obituary It brought a memory. The woman in the nursing home that she bought the shoes for was my great Aunt, Peggy MacPherson.My heart goes out to you for your loss. May she rest in peace. God Bless You.
So sorry, Belinda….Keeping you in our thoughts during this sad time and sending hugs.
RIP Aunt Bev
