Dearest Beryl, 
It's been one year now since you went home to be with Jesus.  I miss you just as much now as then.  You are still forever in my heart as with so many others, because you truly were an angel in our midst on Earth.  Thank you Jesus, for taking such good care of my precious friend.

Dear Beryl (Neen),

When you got your Kindle you made sure to add the Bible as your first book on your tablet. Jesus was always near and dear to your heart.

Your hands were always busy making another beautiful heirloom afghan for family and friends. 

We were always planning and coordinating our next family gathering or where we could meet up in our travels. We kept in touch daily by e-mail or text.

You are forever in our hearts.

Tons of love and hugs,

Your brother Bill and sis-in-law Jan

Beryl and her smile brightened my life since I met her in 1976.  We shared meals and babies in the early days and as our lives went different paths, we often saw each other in the halls of Holy Family.  Beryl, her smile and great personality always wanted to hear about our family.  Her love and concern for others was a gift.  She will be missed by all that knew her.  RIP my friend.

In life, we can only hope that our path will cross a Beryl Anderson.  It was an honor to know and work with Beryl for the past 14 years.  I have been truly blessed by her kindness, compassion, and optimism that there is good to see in all people and
joy to experience in all of life's challenges.  I will so miss her room brightening smile, her loving and open heart and the gracious way she engaged all who needed a friend.  During a recent personal sadness, I was strengthened by a typical encounter with Beryl. After a lengthy and insightful conversation she commented, "you're not getting over this are you?" She was the only one to have noticed.  Two days later a beautiful bouquet of flowers arrived for me at my office, with the following note "I am so sorry for your sadness, I am here for you."
Indeed she always was.  Her passing leaves me with an emptiness in my heart and with an added determination to try and be more like her. To her family I extend my great sorrow in your loss, and my prayer that the Lord with send you comfort through the recollection of wonderful memories.

My condolences to your family, my friend. You had a huge impact for good in this world, and lived faithfully for our Lord to the very end. I will see you when I get there and will miss you til then.

I don't know anyone whose life being touched by Neen wasn't the better for it. The hopefulness and optimism she brought to us cancer survivors saw us through some of the darkest moments of our lives. As the sweet sister of my oldest friend, I felt so honored when she claimed me as a brother by another mother. Her welcoming smile; her wonderful sense of humor; her laughter; and the warm, oh so human twinkle in her bright eyes; not to mention she made the best chili on the planet; we have all been so fortunate to have had her in our lives.

You were the best friend a person could have. We counseled cancer patients and family members at Holy Family for years. You were overflowing with compassion, good potlatch food, and even comedy. Everyone loves you, dear friend because you were so lovable. Steve and I will have a hole in our hearts and in our schedules. We will miss our monthly dinners and that lunch date for the Yum! Yum! Sisters we never got to have.

Goodbye my sweet friend. You are an awesome woman who was taken from earth far too early.  God needed an awesome angel and he chose you.  Your smile and kindness towards all will be forever remembered.  You were there for my family in our time of need and we will never forget that or you. Until we meet again.

Beryl will be missed by all who knew her.  I will miss her infectious smile, wonderful kindness, and comforting words.  May she rest in peace.

Our lunchtime banter used to make my day.  I will miss your light..inside and out!!! The Lord truly smiled as you entered His Kingdom and I'm sure said "well done, good and faithful servant" Love you bunches!

You will be missed Beryl!  I will miss your heart and love for serving those who needed your care. God had a plan for you Beryl and you followed God's plan with all your heart, soul and person. Thank you for being the light of Christ for so many. I will miss your presence and care. Chaplain Holly

My last interaction with Beryl was April 4,2016. She was helping a friend of mine who has a new, horrible form of cancer with information of help with the horrendous bills that would be coming to her home, daily most likely. I did not know that she was only working a few more weeks, but gave us her vast amount of information and experience as only she could. I have know and worked with Beryl for probably 30 years. An amazing, kind person. Love and miss you, Beryl

Beryl was great to work with and always had a smile for me. A very special lady indeed and I am so sorry she is gone. Hugs to all the family. I not only liked Beryl but truly admired her.

Beryl was such a wonderful person and amazing nurse.  Her smile and cheery disposition was a gift to anyone who knew her.  Blessings to your family

Never a more kind person than Beryl.  She took care of us all in her soft, joyful, open and accepting way.  She gave the world more love than we will ever know.  Xxoo

I can not think of Beryl without an image of her engaging smile and frequent laugh. She was one of the best nurses that I ever worked with, kind,self motivated,competent,and willing to do any task. She never said an unkind word about anybody and was always the first to help. It breaks my heart that she never got to enjoy retirement, I miss her every day.

Nee Nee, you were in my life just a small time, but you filled it with laughter and joy. I do not think I ever saw you without a smile or a laugh. Thank You for being a great sister(in-law).

Childhood memories I will always remember; the sound of Aunt NeeNee's laugh and the way her cheerfullness could fill up a room.

Nee Nee,  You were not only my sister, but my dear friend who was always there for me. Your kind and loving ways were always an inspiration.  I miss you so much and I  will always treasure my memories with you.  Love,  Rosemary (better know as Toes)

Dear Sweet Beryl, 
There is not a single memory of you that does not make me feel blessed to have had you for a friend.
 Your kindness, compassion, and gentleness will always be the example that I will try to follow.  
The world is a sadder place without you, but for sure it is a greater place for you having been here!

I knew you were an angel the very first time I met you.  You became my confidant, friend, and sister in Christ.  I will miss you immensely but celebrate with you that you are home with Jesus now.

Dearest Neen,
I miss you so very much.  I always looked up to you and cherished you as a loving sister.  God bless you now and forever.  Love, Bob
