We have so many good memories of time spent with Bev and Paul in several of their churches, at Annual Conference, in pastor-support groups, in their Otsego home…We were saddened to see her slip away from Paul and all of us. Her laughter and hospitality will remain in our hearts. May God grant peace, mercy and full-life.

Dear Paul — Our deepest condolences on Bev’s passing. She was truly a partner for you over the years and a good friend to many including us. The recent years have been difficult, with health problems, but we’re know your faith and hers never faltered. We hope to see you soon. Shalom. Fred and Nancy
