My Dear Brother and his beloved Family, I am not one for words, but I would like to leave you with the following few .... God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put His arms around her and whispered "Beverly, come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the Best !! Do not stand at her grave and weep, she is not there, She did not die. She is in your hearts and thoughts forever. Love, Jean

Grandma, It will have been two weeks as of tomorrow since you have past on. I still think about you all the time. Its very hard to know that your gone, for the rest of my lifetime. You were allways a huge part of my life. I loved spending time with you. And Im glad that I really got to know you and that we built a relationship as strong as we did. You beat The cancer. The cancer did not beat you. And that is why you are the strongest lady who I ever Knew. Im glad we got to share so many GREAT memories together! I will miss you forever. I wll love you forever. You will be in my heart FOREVER! your spot cannot be taken by anybody. Hopefully that spot will be filled again in the future! Love you grandma. Your youngest Grandson and Grandchild. ~Bryan <3

Dear Beverly, Today you went home to be with our Lord and I could feel your spirit embracing us. Bev, you would be so proud of your wonderful family-so strong-so loving and welcoming to all those who will carry you in their hearts forever. Yes, a job well done by Bev and Wally. It rained really hard today and our hearts were so full. Although some rain must fall the clouds will leave and the night sky will glisten again with beautiful bright stars; your's will shine the brightest. Evie said that to know you is to love you- so true! Shine on our dear one, it'll be difficult for all of us but when we are missing you we will be looking upward! Bff xoxo Carol Ann

Now, you are not suffering, you are in Heaven with our Ma's, Frank, Ken and your beautiful family who were waiting there for you. On earth you were our "Angel In Disguise."

I will keep my promise to you dear one. Thank you for touching my life. I love You, Carol Ann

Dear Julie and family, I want to express my sympathy on the passing of your mother. After reading the tributes to your mother, I was brought to tears. She sounds like she was an incredible mom, grandma, sister and friend.I pray that God gives you and your family strength to get through your grief, and peace knowing that she is in His hands, experiencing His love and the peace now upon her. Fondly, Laura, Joe and Sam Bird

Auntie Boj, what an inspiration you have been to me (and I know to others as well). Because of you I will keep fighting. I will always remember you and love you. Laura Uncle Wally, David, Chris, Julie and families, My heart breaks for you and rejoices all at the same time. God's whistle has blown for her to go home. May you find comfort in your memories of her and in knowing that she has made it home and is with him now. I know she took your love with her to heaven. I love you all. Laura

What can I say about my Grandma Cygan? There are just way too many memories to choose from to share. So to sum it all up, you were honestly the best Grandma that you could possibly be. Christmas, and all the other hilidays, were always something i looked forward to because you would always create a feast (and im not exaggerating). The decorations were always nice, and it was always just a lot of fun. I am glad that when I saw you just 18 hours before you started your journey to Heaven, I got to say I love you one more time. Thank you for being such a loving Grandma, Mother, friend, and person in general. You will be greatly missed. Cant wait to see you again! love, your grandson Anthony
