I am so sorry to read the loss of Beverly. I taught a few years with her at Goliad Elementary. She was a special friend, mentor, and teacher. She gave her all to teaching and loving children. Of course, she always spoke lovingly of her Bobby Lynn and her children. We had such fun. I have missed seeing and visiting with her.
