Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 316) What a wonderful gift we have been giving, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. Death is the age-old enemy, we all meet as our journey end. It is never pleasant, when we loss someone we love. The pain at times, is so heart breaking, that our tears, keep on flowing. (Ps. 3418) Even the perfect man, JESUS CHRIST, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) Without fear the way ahead
Beverly was a great back door neighbor many years ago. Just know that the Lord is now holding her tight. Love, Nan Hinnant
I had the pleasure of meeting Aunt Beverly approximately 20 years ago through her niece, Kaye Pigg Ruskey. For a tiny lady she packed a lot of punch with her words. While in her presence she made me feel comfortable and loved. She was a strong and confident women and surely will be a leading soldier in the army of the Lord. My prayers are with Carolyn and Aunt Beverly’s extended family during this time. I know she will be truly missed.
Aunt Beverly and I shared many letters, birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas cards through the years. Lots of happy phone calls to reach each other also. Aunt Beverly reminded me so much of Mamma Mayme (my grandmother and her Mother). Whenever I looked at her – even in the hospital recently when I visited her. I told her that at the hospital and she smiled at me. I will miss her love and our chats. Love, Kaye P. Ruskey
