   2009-04-1312:27:41 My deepest sympathy. It's difficult to understand why one so young is no longer with us. We know that God has a plan and cousin Bev is in a better place. God's will is sometimes difficult to understand and accept. I pray that his loving arms surround you and embrace you during this difficult time.
   
   There were so many of us cousin and we kind of hung out by age group and the older one's ruled the younger ones. I do remember that my older cousin Bev never considered it uncool to hang out with us younger cousins and she was one of the few older cousins who was the first to greet you with a hug hello (whether you wanted one or not!). She always made me feel special when she did that.

   2009-04-1018:43:12 Jimmy, Jim, Luanne & Suzy, it just doesn't seem right that Bev should be gone from us so young in life, but then we only see what's in front of us, whereas God has a magnificent quilt in the making, where-in our lives weave threads of silver and gold only visible from above. My feeling is that Bev is up there looking down and marveling at it's beauty along with Cliff, Uncles Don and Vernon, Aunts Ginny, Peachie, Jean and Janet and Grandma and Grandpa Saunchegrow. Bev touched lives along the roads she travelled that took her far from St. Louis, I am sure her smiling face cheered many souls along the way. I will never forget the fun we had in high school when I would drive down to Dover Place, pick her up with my Chevy Impala and 'cruise'. She loved to see how close we could come to doing something we shouldn't without really doing it so we wouldn't get into trouble. I can't tell you how many times she slept over and we stayed up plotting mischief that never quite materialized.

   2009-04-0810:25:56 There are many childhood memories of Beverly that keep floating through my mind. Many holidays spent at Grandma & Grandpa’s with all of the cousins playing in the yard or grouped together at the ‘kids’ table. Quite often Bev and I would pick the four o’clock seeds and put in jars for Grandma. Sometimes at her request….and sometimes not! The many Christmas parties at Aunt Peachie’s (she had the best Christmas decorations) when the kids had the run of the basement and the New Year’s Eve parties when all of the kids were restricted upstairs. I think I enjoyed and remember most New Year’s Eve…it gave us quiet times to compare notes on the new toys and games that everyone received. It was a fun time with all of the camaraderie that cousins have and the memories will last forever. It is sad to hear of Beverly’s p[censored]ing… .taken before her time. She is a part of our family….and will be remembered forever in our memories.

   2009-04-0721:45:06 Lu- thank you for the call and I am sorry to hear about Bev\'s death and of her health situation that lead to it. And I would have to echo my brother Don\'s comments about what cousins can get into with out our folks knowing- although I guess Peach and Pop know now!! She did give me my first cigarette… But she was always fun and kind to me when we were kids. My oldest son Brooks also had some fun stories about Bev from spending time with his cousin Ronnie, but will e-mail to you Lu. I hope Bev\'s family has some wonderful memories to carry along with them. Nesi

   2009-04-0718:26:11 I dont know where to begin. Bev was my best friend.I feel this loss very deeply. I'm so glad that i have the memories…the trips we took together…the long talks into the night. She was always there for me when i needed her. She was my Loise and i was her Thelma. We were more than that though…We thought of each other as sisters. And thats how i feel today..i lost a friend and a sister. My deepest sympathy to her family..Jim , Jimmy , Kim and Ed. There are no other appropriate words. I feel your loss. Call if you need anything at all. God Bless

   2009-04-0618:00:47 So sorry to hear of Beverlys Death. It seems like only yesterday when she was this little dark-headed girl with a sweet smile promoting C&H pure cane sugar from Hawaii. I always thought of her when I seen tnat commercial because she was a very pretty little girl. Once again it is to soon and hard to believe she is gone. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

    2009-04-0610:55:31 Another cousin who's life was cut short way too soon. She will dearly be missed. From the times we had as kids to the times we shared raising our own kids, she has filled my life and heart with memories. (what we couldnt get into as kids couldnt be done) If our parents had known what trouble we got into we would still be grounded today. She has gone to be with alot of the family that has gone on before us until it is one day our turn, what a joyfull reunion that will be. We'll miss you till than Bev.
