October 13, 2019 at 1:55 pmBev was a dear friend to both myself and my husband Jim. She was devoted to her family and always beamed with pride when telling us about all their accomplishments. She had a wonderful sense of humor and always could find humor in any situation. She and I were know as the “Hardy Girls” at WoodMill where we worked together for 14 years. Even when we went in different directions our friendship endured. Love you Bev. Sending blessing and prayer to her dear family.
