Dear Family,
I was lucky to have met Beverly through a mutual friend. She was so warm and genuine. Beverly's faith carried her through her illness. I was so impressed with her and how she leaned on the Lord through good times and bad. I pray that your faith will help you through this difficult time. I feel very lucky to have known her. She was truly an inspiration.

Dear Family
I had only known Beverly the last few years. During that time I grew to see what a superb example she set for all of us to rely on Christ Our Lord in good and bad times. She was inspiration to everyone who met her. I pray for your peace and comfort at this time in your lives.

Beverly was my son's Sunday School when he was a young boy. He loved her dearly! I think she was his first love. She was such a wonderful Christian person and an example for everyone. If you ever met Beverly, you automaticly feel in love with her. I was truly blessed for knowing her. I am so sorry for your loss and I am praying for your family. A precious angel joined God in heaven and is feeling no more pain. We can all celebrate with her again one day. In God's loving care, Ernie, Lisa and Cory Emerson

Will miss you terribly. You were a sweet, kind, chrisitan lady that I considered it an honor to have even met you, much less call you a friend. I will always remember your smile, the times we spent together in Magnolia, and at Meadowlake in Conway. Family, please know that you are in my prayers.

While I work in a department of writing at UALR, I find it hard to find words to fully express the degree of respect I have for Beverly. I first met her many years ago when she was part of a 5-week summer writing project I taught. Later I would be one of three to serve on her thesis committee. Rarely have I met a more genuine, authentic, kind, bright, gentle, pleasant woman. We became more than instructor/graduate student; we became friends. Please know how many people loved her and wish you well as you walk toward healing. With great caring, Toran Isom

Beverly was such an amazing person and I have truly been blessed that she was a part of my life. She was such a blessing to me at the Vilonia Middle School and always a positive influence. More so than being a colleague, she was my dear friend. I will forever be touched by her faith, courage, and wisdom. She was such an encourager to others and a true servant of her Lord. I know today she is living, praising God, and enjoying the things he prepared for her. My prayers are with the family during this time of sorrow and I pray God will give you encouragement in the days ahead. I will miss Beverly very much.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Beverly's family. Beverly and I came to Vilonia Schools the same year. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her faith was lived out daily and she's left behind a wonderful example of what a Christian should be. I am a better person because our paths crossed 23 years ago.

As I was glancing through some of the guest book comments & listening to music on my computer, I realized that "Mighty To Save" was playing. A long time ago Beverly had brought this song out in a devotion we did in singles group, as a song that spoke to her. Ever since then, when I hear that song I think of her. She was a beautiful person inside & out & her faith was & will always be an inspiration. Love you Bev, prayers to the family & friens of this amazing woman.

Although, it seems as if a beautiful, shining light went out yesterday when our precious friend, Beverly, went to meet her Saviour, the truth is that the testimony she left behind will shine on forevermore! I know that I am a better person for having known her for the last 25 years! Ronnie and I, along with Debbie & Glenn Langley have celebrated 25 years of birthdays - we never missed even one. - not necessarily on the 31st, but somewhere around that date every year! Beverly, Glenn & Ronnie all shared the same birthday, July 31st, and it was a distinct honor to celebrate each year with Beverly! God decided to celebrate with Beverly, Himself, this year, and we can only imagine how awesome that will be! WE WILL MISS HER BUT WILL NEVER FORGET HER!
Always & Forever in Christ's Love,

Beverly was one amazing lady. She was a wonderful example of a Christian Lady. She lived her love for Christ thru her life. She was so faithful to the Lord and to all her friends. She gave of herself so freely and did so much for others. She fought so hard to overcome her illness, but thru all of this, she keep her faith of the Lord and she ALWAYS gave God the honor and Glory for all of this. She had a wonderful display of Love of the Lord that everyone could see daily. Each of our lives have been touched by you. She fought a good fight, she finished her course and she kept the faith. I can only imagine the day that she had today with the Lord in Heaven. Its hard to let her go her on earth but she is walking the streets of Gold thanking God. I know she will receive lots of rewards in Heaven because she was so wonderful here on earth. We will miss you and we can only Imagine!
