To all of Bev's close and wonderful family - our hearts are with you. We have the best memories of her many kindnesses, her interest in others, her fun-loving personality, and her smarts. Above all, she adored her family, and loved talking about all of you. I always felt I had been to a family reunion just by visiting her at Deb's. What a gal. She'll always been in your hearts, smiling away.... With love, Mark and Muffie

To all my Syracuse fam-I’ll be on the Zoom for the funeral-sending hugs, Yvette
