Aunt Beverly was my late grandmother's sister, and she's always showed love - even from a distance. And her cakes?? Maaan oh maaan. I wish I'd taken the time to visit or break bread with her. But I will always love her for the loving woman she was. Rest easy Auntie!

I will truly miss our conversations. She never called me by name unless she went into her serious mood, otherwise she would just say “daughter”. Love you Mimi. Will miss you terribly.
MiMi, was a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit. We met when I was a young mother at 19 when she kept my baby. My baby quickly became her baby and she showered her and I with so much love and wisdom throughout the years. She was a second mom and I loved her dearly. She was the most genuine person you will ever meet and she loved taking care of people. In good or bad times she always found a way to make you laugh. Always helping you see the brighter side of things. I’m so blessed to have met one of God’s angels. She has touched the lives of many and will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you Mimi always and forever.

It was an honor and joy to hang out with Mother Beverly playing Bunco and to visit with her from time to time at family gatherings!!! She had a beautiful heart and always a smile on her face!! Beverly was loved by so many and will be missed. Her memories will forever be in the heart of everyone who knew her❤️🙏🏽❤️

I had the great pleasure of meeting Ms. Beverly 2 times. And on those 2 occasions, she made me feel like I had known her for a while. Her kind heart and sweet voice made me feel so welcomed. I truly feel blessed to have met her. Thank you for opening your arms, home and your heart to me, Momma. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. We love you dearly, now and forever.
can’t believe i’m even doing this, it’s really hard to share just one memory with my mimi cause i swear i can go far back in my memory to when i was a child.. but my mimi was a phenomenal woman.. beautiful inside and out, treated me like the queen that i am, never judged or made me feel like i couldn’t trust her in any situation.. my favorite memory with my mimi i was in the 5th grade & i was very serious bout my perfect attendance.. my mimi had thought i was in the car and drove all the way to school without me being in the car and i started crying cause i was gone be late & panicking with her really thinking i was in the backseat the whole time lol, called my aunt rhonda & my mimi was on the way back she realized her baby wasn’t in the car & i still made it to school on time lol😂💕 i could go on & on & on but i’m just not ready to think about me never being able to make another memory or laugh with my baby .. that’s really all we did was smile laugh & love.. i must’ve been one of god favorites to get to experience this woman, god i thank you🙏🏽
