Bev was one of my mom’s longest and dearest friends, going back to Romulus and Russ and my dad were best friends at Romulus High as well.-á After my mom passed a couple of years ago, Bev always took the time to share her kind thoughts with us on Facebook and was always such a sweet and wonderful person.-á My mom and her kids (us) went out to Gowen a few times to visit and always had such a nice and fun time.-á I always admired Bev’s strength after the loss of Lou Ann and how her faith kept her going.-á My deepest condolences to Tony and all of Bev’s family and friends,
Larry Rice
