Beverly Ann was a true Southern Lady. We were always welcome in her home. She was the other half of my brother. Together they lived out what it means to become one. She was a strong witness of Christ to all that new her, especially her family. The Bible says there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and at time to dance. Now we are weeping. Now we are mourning. However, there is coming a time of a great homecoming. Because of Beverly Ann's witness, many will be there including her family. My wife and I will be there. Curtis will be there. Then will be the time to laugh and dance. God bless you all.
