Even tho I have only got together with Beverly a few times in my life, I have wonderful memories of her. She was the type of person who made you feel at home right away. As if you've known her your whole entire life. I grew up with the knowledge that Beverly was my Mom's (Judy Rector Bode) favorite cousin and upon meeting her, I could clearly see why. Beverly's Dad was my Grandpa's brother. I first met Bev when I was a young girl. Beverly came up to Long Island (where I grew up) to visit the family and when we first moved to Florida, back in 1999, Beverly and one of her sisters were one of our first visitors to welcome us to Florida. We mainly kept in contact through correspondence, but I learned a lot about the family through her. Upon a visit to her home a few years ago, we spent hours upon hours pouring over old photographs of the family and she just blew us away with her knowledge of our family ancestry. Beverly will be greatly missed, but her memory will live on. Love you Always Cuz ~<3~
