Dear jim and family.
So sorry for your loss. It is so difficult to lose a mother, wife and friend, particularly during the Holidays.
We offer your family our heartfelt condolences.
The Belanger family
I love you Auntie Bev. You have been our family cornerstone and we have grown as a family because of your constant love, support, and guidance, and amazing sense of humor. A determined, focused, honest, giving person has risen to her supreme existance among angels. I feel honored to have had her in my life, someone who always made me feel loved, welcome, comfortable, and admired. She will always be in my memories, heart, thoughts, spirit and soul just as she has already been. I love you Auntie Bev, our family earth and heavenly angel.
Jim,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. What a change in plans – but Bev is without pain now and is at peace. Please stay in touch my friend…
Jim

To the Mehlinger family.I was so sad to hear the news about Beverly’s passing.I have known Bev for the past six years and will miss her terribly. She was a very caring woman and had a great sense of humour. I am in Florida for the holidays and am saddened that I can not see you all and tell you how much Bev meant to me.My prayers are with you all at this sad time. Sincerely, Liz Zeolla
Beverly’s life was a gift to me and many other friends. I will miss her physical presence although her spirit will live in my memory forever. Her smile and thoughtfulness masked the pain and other difficulties she usually was feeling.
My deepest sympathy to her loving family – you are in my prayers although I only know you slightly through her. What a special and wonderful person she was! I take some comfort in knowing that she is now at peace. – Lis (from Newton)

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I was shocked to learn of your wifes passing. I’m glad I had a chance to see you just days before she died. I had no idea she had been so ill. If there is anything I might do to help you during this difficult time, please call me.
To Jim MY prayers are with you I did not know that Bev passed away. You were very good to my Mom I wish I had known about her passing I would have come to her services. My prayers are with you and I know that she is with my Mom. God Bless
Jimmy,
So very sorry to learn recently of your loss. It’s hard to believe that the last time I saw Beverly and you were when you were so kind as to attend the funeral of my grandmother, Elsie B.Johnson back in 1995.
Best wishes to you and the family as you move forward through this difficult time.
