My sincere sympathy to Bev's family. I had the pleasure of working with Bev at the bank -long before she started her nursing career. Although that was many years ago, I have never forgotten her and her spirit. She was a light in the room...... strong, friendly caring and fun. What a terrible loss for all who knew and loved her. Rest in the arms of the angels, Bev..

Father God we lift your servant Beverly to your loving embrace. Send your angels to comfort her family in this time of grief. Let us celebrate her life the way she would want us to. In Jesus's name we pray. The Gardner Girls were a happy loving team back in the day. Losing a loved one is hard but I know where she went 🙋 Good bye Bev

Bev, it was such a pleasure working with you at Tawas St Joseph Hospital. You were such a wonderful nurse and had caring hands for others. You changed many lives and certainly made your mark in life. You fought hard and long and with dignity. Have a glorious trip into heaven where your other family and friends are rejoicing. Be well and many blessings to your earth family. Xo
