From the time we met that all changed. We've shared many stories together, laughed, you've always tried to encourage me and give me words of wisdom when I needed it, where my morale support at my first photo shoots. When you started this journey about a year ago, I tried to be the same friend to you. I called, sent text, scriptures and offered whatever encouraging words I could. Although I am glad you are no longer in pain, it saddens me to have to say goodbye my friend. You will truly be misssed.

She will always be remembered as one of the kindest ladies you could ever meet. My prayers are with her family. CAROLINE LAKIN GIBEL, APRIL 27, 2017
Bev was one of the most beautiful people both inside and out that I have ever known. We worked together in Jefferson City, MO when I served in Missouri Legislature. Bev liked to say she worked for me but we were really a team. I came to count on her as a boss and as a friend. She was loved by so many people and was a huge part of my success. She made people feel special and she made me look really good to my constituents and all who came to my office. She has had a big impact on my life and it was a blessing to work with and know her as a dear friend. She loved her family and had a big impact on all that met her. I know because I observed it and felt it. God bless you Bev! SCOTT LAKIN, APRIL 26, 2017 Oh Kitten this hurts so bad. I just know you've made heaven a more beautiful place.

Bev I will miss your laughter and your warm smile. I can't still remember walking to your desk and you would always joke and say you were watching my now husband for me. Keeping him in line ha ha... You were always smiling and a good source of knowledge. You will be missed dearly. Love you..rip MARY WOMACK, APRIL 26, 2017 I worked with Bev at the Missouri House of Representatives. I was an intern for Scott Lakin and she was his assistant. From the moment I started there she was wonderful to me. She was truly one of the warmest, kindest and most optimistic people I've ever known. She loved everyone but above all else she loved her kids. I still remember the way she talked about them and how she would just beam when doing so. I told Bev this recently: I am a mom now and when I think about the type of mother I want to be it is always one like Bev. She was a great role model to me in that way. And, man, was she funny. Even though I was a senior in college at that time I was working with her I would have rather hung out with Bev than anybody. She was that fun! We stayed in touch all the years since then and I still consider her one of my favorite people of all time. Greg, Megan and Nick--you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. KRISTIN CASE, APRIL 26, 2017 You were an awesome person. Thanks for the many talks and laughs we had. Glad you're not in anymore pain or suffering. You will be missed greatly.

Bev, I know it's only been 3 years of knowing you but you really touched and made an impact on me in such a short time. Often times, you would tell me how much I'd reminded you of your son Nick. I know this is a tough time for us friends and family for sure, but I'm confident that your gorgeous smile and warmth is shining down on all of us. God has gained yet another Angel! You'll always be remembered my friend! RYLAND BOWERS, APRIL 26, 2017 My deepest condolences to your family for your loss. I had the privilege, and honor in meeting Beverly in 2012, and from the very start I knew that God embraced us all with true beauty inside and out. Her smile, and infectious laugh lit up any room, and anyone she encountered. She will be truly missed, but never forgotten. Even though this may be a time of grieving for us all, I find comfort in knowing that she found rest through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
