I had the pleasure of working with sweet Bev Hall at The Jamestown Sun long ago. We stayed in touch through the years. She was such a positive, wonderful, strong woman. She taught me lots about life, loss, God, and laughter. Rest in peace sweet lady!

Mom, will love you always. You were the best friend and confidant. You always had my back. I know your faith helped sustain you even through the darkest times. You will live on in my heart. You will continue to be an inspiration to me and my family. You touched a lot of people.

May your many wonderful memories and your faith give you great comfort at this time of sadness and loss. When I think of Bev, I see her at the piano on the main floor of the old Elks building playing away with such a zest for life and laughter. God Bless you, Tracy Johnk

My condolance to Aunt Bev, I will always remember when she sent me a music tape for my birthday of college fight songs she sang and played the piano, Bev's voice was as good as her organ and piano playing skills. Now Bev has taken her musical talents to heavenly choir, so we love and miss Bev, but memory will always live on.
