Hello Bev, I still miss you so much

Hey Sis it's four o'clock in the morning , and I'm thinking about you remembering all the early morning talks we use to have. I miss you girl, and wish we could still have our conversations. I'm not angry anymore just disappointed. I was ready, or even slightly prepared for you leaving I'm so sorry. I wish we could have one more conversation, but when I truly think about that one would just make me want another one. I do talk to your baby girl as often as she will let me we are good Sis. I'm trying not to get emotional so I will talk to you next time ❤️✌

Well Sis it's been a year now since we lost you and you're still on my mind. I'm so grateful that God gave me to be your sister for all these years. There will always be something that reminds me of you. I pray that you are resting well with all the other family members especially Mom. Love you so much. Kisses & Smooches

Hey Sister girl I haven't been on here for some days/weeks. I'm trying not to be sad every time I post, today I am thinking about you, wishing I could just have one of our conversations. My mind is racing through our so many pass conversations. I'm trying to only allow myself to think about the good talks we had. I really miss you sis I actually hear your voice as I am typing this message. I'm trying to avoid being sad, and angry I'm not there yet the tears are starting to fall. I Love, and Miss you SIS ALWAYS KISSES SMOOCHES ❤️✌.

Beverly your smile and joy lit up the office at the DC. When you spoke about your family and especially the grandkids, you spoke of how proud of them you are and the love you had for them . It was my honor to have worked with you and get to know you.

Hey girl hey yes here I am 4:38AM. Thinking about you. I look at this picture of you, and my mind starts to race down memory lane as fast as yours did in almost every conversation. I can't stop wondering what would be happening with us now. I spent so much time trying to figure out how many of those plans you were making would we have gotten through. I wish we had made it through them all. In other words I wish you were still here. I'm going to stop before I am crying I just wanted to talk to my sister. I MISS, and LOVE YOU SO MUCH talk to you later KISSES SMOOCHES ❤️✌

Sister Beverly, this is the second week of the US Open and you would have enjoyed it so much. Serena is evolving away from tennis (as she calls it) and not sure what Venus will do as of yet. She might retire also but hasn't said anything probably so she wouldn't rain on Serena's parade. The first week of the Open was amazing. I just keep thinking how much you would have enjoyed not only watching her but all the tennis. There have been some great matches and I know we would have been talking about them a lot. I could hear you trying to pronounce some of the players name and me helping you with the pronunciation like I use to always do. I really love and miss you so much.

Well Sis. here I am sitting here at 1:35am thinking about you, and all the things you said in June we would be doing in July, and August wondering why we didn't get to do them. Yes I know the fact, and I still have a why, because this fact was never in the plan, I can't stop myself from waiting for your phone calls day or night I have to constantly remind myself it's not going to happen I miss you so much girl. Sorry my first I LOVE YOU KISSES SMOOCHES ❤️✌.

Hey it 2:43am. I'm sitting here thinking of you, and wondering what happened? Three weeks ago we were on the phone making plans for the future, and now there's no making, no plans,and no answers. I am just baffled by this to the point that I don't know what to do, and can't believe this fact that I don't want to admit is bonafide. The emotions I'm feeling is turning into anger. I find myself waiting on phone calls only to realize there not coming anymore. I keep remembering all the things we did together for the first time, and it reminds me of more first we planned for our retirement journey, and it hurts so bad I just don't understand why, what, or how I'm at this place without you. Sis I am so sorry this happened. I have to THANK GOD THAT WE ARE BOTH IN THE FATHER'S HANDS KISSES SMOOCHES I LOVE YOU BEV.

When thinking back on my childhood one of the first persons that pops into mind is my auntie Bev. It’s unfortunate that most people don’t get the luxury of knowing their great aunts or even having memories of them however I was blessed to know my aunt. The only reason I know some of the things I use now in life as an adult is because of her; Every time I drive by a tennis court shes the first person I think of, every time I hear something about Serena or Venus Williams I think to myself like "if it wasn’t for my auntie I wouldn’t even have known who these amazing successful black
Woman are"; every time I pick up a volleyball or badminton racket I think to myself "my auntie Bev taught me these skills" every time someone offers me homemade cake or ice cream and they say it’s the best I’ll ever have… I think to myself "I’ll be the judge of that because my first ever homemade desserts came from my auntie Bev, & it was the best" Every time I think of any sort of independency I think of my auntie Bev. Do I wanna cut my own grass? Nope, but can you guess how I know how to do it if I had to? Yup! Right again my auntie Bev. I can go on and on with the things she took the time out to teach and show me as growing up. I remember my auntie being this strong, independent, assertive, successful, beautiful person and everything she taught me and showed me I wanted. I wanted to be somebody and my auntie was a great role model for my future. I’m thankful to have these memories with her forever in my heart. I love you forever and always Auntie Bev

I Luv & Miss U Auntie Bev U didn't know how much of a bridge that U was for me & Kendrell. We reset our life & met some terrific people here in Florida but we wouldn't have met none of them if U didn't 1st blaze a trail.

Lawrence, Joann, and family.
Duane and I are so sorry for your. Praying for you and the family during this difficult time. Hold on to the many memories that you shared with your sister.

God bless
