Shirley Vara Gallerani (DRMSL5@aol.com):
Bev and I went to Needham High School together until I moved in our junior year. Then we found each other again at Lasell College and were thrilled. We tried to keep in touch and see each other on a regular basis and were together at our Lasell Reunion (50th) and I visited her at the Medway Manor and we had lunch with her cousin Dottie with whom I am friendly. I am very sad to learn about Bev's death, but know it brings her peace and comfort that she did not have in recent months. My deepest sympathy to her daughters.

Debbie Clark (debbieclark@prudentialpage.com):
Dear Family! Lovely Bev was my Mom's (Beulah Brown) best friend for a few years at Medway Country Manor. Always cheerful, even when she was commenting on the food quality, she lifted the spirits of those around her, including my Mom. I had just visited her a couple of weeks ago and knew that these friends would be together again soon. A true lady who adored her family and that I loved. Our most sincere sympathies to all of you for this great lady, your great loss. From the entire Clark Family

God Bless,

Holly & Family, You're in the extended-Medfield community's thoughts and prayers this week. I remember your mother as a woman who lived her life with grace and strength. Blessings always, Gretchen
 
Ruth & Skip Sigler (host@seagullinn.com):
Holly, Lindsay, and Hope - Laurel of course knows how much we've been thinking of all of you as you've gone through this excruciatingly difficult time, but this is a good way to express our deepest sympathy, and echo many of the sentiments already expressed by saying what a beautiful woman your mother was, and how much we admired her. If any of you have a chance for a getaway in Marblehead, to spend some time with Laurel, there's always a room for you at the Inn, and we'd love to see you.

Again, our deepest sympathy and love,
Ruth & Skip
 
Connie Jones (conniesuejones@comcast.net):
To all of those who loved Bev,

I remember her as a woman of grace and kindness, from the time I babysat for the girls on Pound Street, to working with her on town activities. She always had a warm hello and smile for those she knew and those she did not... May she rest in peace and may your memories of her sooth your grief.

Fondly,
Connie

Dear Holly, Lindsay, Hope and Laurel,
So many years ago we were neighbors on Pound Street, the gentle girls in one home, the rowdy boys next door. Your Mom and I used to compare notes. She was a wonderful lady and I'm sad to hear of your loss. You were blessed with fine parents. My sympathy and prayers are with you.

Fondly,
