Dear Alisa and family,
My sincere condolences to you all. Losing your parent is such a heavy loss. My heart goes out to you and prayers that you find moments of comfort in all the wonderful memories of her.
Beverly was a member of the orchestra when I joined in 1969. She was very supportive and offered excellent guidance to a very young rookie. I will always be grateful for her friendship.
Rob & Ben – I am sorry I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Beverly was always supportive of me during my eight years as the replacement 4th horn with the orchestra. I really regret not finding out in time to rearrange my work schedule to attend her visitation this morning. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. She was truly one-of-a-kind and will be missed.
Dear Alisa, Ben, and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss, and sorry that I didn’t find out about Beverly’s passing in time to be at the visitation and express my condolences in person. I loved working with her – she was a librarian’s dream when it came to doing bowings while she was the principal 2nd violin. Even more, she was a wonderful colleague and friend and a joy to be with. I’ll miss her!
Dear Rob, Ben and Alisa,
My most sincere condolences on the loss of Beverly. She was a wonderful colleague and dear friend, and I will always remember how proud she was of all of you. Her kindness and her steady, sensible outlook on life will be remembered.
