Auntie Bev thank you for letting us grow up with you in our lives. We will treasure all those memories.

Beloved Sister
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

One Final Gift
Scatter me not to restless winds,
Nor toss my ashes to the sea.
Remember now those years gone by,
When loving gifts I gave to thee.
Remember now the happy times,
The family ties we shared.
Do not leave my resting place unmarked,
As though you never cared.
Deny me not one final gift,
For all who come to see.
A single lasting proof that says,
I loved… and you loved me.
“Aloha ‘Ohana”

Peter and I wish you all our deepest sympathy. Bev and I worked together for many years and after we retired, enjoyed visits and luncheons and lots of memories. It’s not going to be the same. We will miss you so much Bev.
