Aunt Beverly

In January my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor and on May 16th she was called home.  When I found out that she had passed I couldn’t help, but feel joy knowing that she was reunited with my sweet Uncle Ben.  This past Friday I attended her funeral, which was such a wonderful tribute to her.  She was a remarkable woman and an excellent example to me.  There was never a dull moment with Aunt Beverly.  Even at the hospital she was still witty as can be.  While we were there she said “who would of thought a brain tumor was going to kill me off”.  She always had a braved face and never looked or acted scared.  She has always been that way.  My uncle was in a motorcycle accident about 30 years ago, leaving him mentally and physically challenged.  She took care of him until he passed away 10 years ago.   She also had seven children to raise.  Her testimony of the gospel remained strong and she never gave up.  She was the life of our family parties and was always there for us.  I will always cherish our sweet memories with her.  I am so blessed to know that I will see her again.
