Dear Mom, It seems like you and Dad have been gone forever.But you are together. My heart is still broken over you and Dad and Orval. I feel like a leaf on a tree, trying my best to hang on. Maxi is still hanging in there. My best buddy. Mom, I love you and Daddy so much and Orval. I miss you,and I love you so very much. Beverly

Dear Momma, It has been a little over a year since you left me to join Daddy.Orval died in December. I feel so lost and alone. I moved. Living in Mabank now. Remember Linda and Dewey. They have been wonderful. Maxi is fine. Saw her first armadillo today. Yes, Daddy, we are in the country. I love you both and miss you so bad. It doesn't even seem worth the time to carry on. But I will for Maxi, Tripoli and Lucky died so my little world has fallen down They say death comes in three's. I had it by 5. Wish you would come see me. I love you. Tell Orval Hi .. I miss you all and think of you all the time. Momma, does it ever get easier?

I was so sorry to hear about Joy's passing. She was a lovely lady who always had a smile on her face whenever I came to visit. I will miss that smile, and I will miss her voice and her compassion. I am privileged to have been able to interact with Joy Longacre.

I can’t express how glad I am to have spent time with Joy and her family last month. I so enjoyed getting to know my great aunt and cousin better. My heart is grieved by her loss.
