I looked forward to seeing Beverly and her dog at the farmer's market and then during the holidays as a bell ringer. I enjoyed talking with her very much. She was a bright spot in North Adams.

My most sincere condolences to all Beverly’s family. I remember Beverly as a student at Notre Dame School. More recently, I enjoyed running into her because of her infectious upbeat attitude. Sad loss.?

Bev always had so many wonderful stories to tell every child. She told the stories with such excitement. She always had a smile and willing to hold a conversation with you. Bev hope you are telling all the wonderful stories to the angels. Keep smiling!
