Dear Stacy, Kim, Caryn-I have such wonderful memories of your beautiful mother-her smile, her laughter, her joy, and her love of her Lord so am glad that at last, she is united in heaven with Him, enjoying her new body and mind for dancing in heaven with the angels! Thinking of you all as you remember, grieve, and rejoice knowing with all certainly where she now resides. I so loved sharing in BSF with her for all those years.
My Dearest Caryn, Im so sorry for you and your families loss. I hope you live in the light and see the joy in life and know she will always be part of you.
With all my love, Christine Silbert
Reed and I have been friends of Bev for many years. We first met her and her first husband square dancing.
We were there for Bev when she went through the divorce and rejoiced with her when she met Clyde and they later married.
There were eight of us that did a lot of fun things together; Carole and Steve Mcnair, Margie and Bruce Pearson, Reed and I and Bev and Clyde.
Pearsons had a cabin on a lake and so do we. McNairs have a place on Herron Island. We spent many fun times together at one place or the other.
The eight of us took a number of trips together such as Eagle Crest in Bend, Ocean Shores and Discovery Bay.
For many years we had a Christmas time dinner party at one home or another.
We were all saddened when Clyde and Bev both became ill. It was painful to see Bev slip slowly away from us as the years went on.
Bev had a beautiful smile and always had cheerful compliments for everyone.
Sorry, we will not be at her service as we will be out of town.
I only knew Beverly after she had moved into the Grace Home where my Dad was. She was such a sweet and loving person, I am sorry for your loss. I didn’t know her before the Alhz. had her but while she could still talk she was fun and encouraging and so kind. After she lost that ability to talk she still was the sweetest person living there. You had a very special person in your lives! My sincerest condolences on the seperation that began with her illness and now this. I pray for your family may you find comfort from one another and friends.
To the Family of Mrs. Beverly Jean Dalrymple,
So sorry to learn about the lost of your Dear Loved One, Beverly. Please know that so many people share your grief with you to help you through this difficult time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest condolences as we await the time when Christ Jesus will awaken all of those who have fallen asleep in death; including your beloved, Beverly. John 11:41-44
