Becky and family,
Your mother was such a queenly, friendly lady. She and Charlie were two of the many adult role models we have had at Holy Tirinity.
My name is Lurita Soult Mock and I am a sister to Terry. He told me of your mother’s passing which has brought back many fun memories with the Beaver family when I was growing up in Greenville. Loved seeing the video with all of your great family. Please accept my condolences and love to you all..
Mary Alice, Becky and Caroline,
I just learned about your mothers passing and wanted to express my deepest sympathy. I have many wonderful memories of her and our growing up on East Avenue. I always thought a lot of your Mom and Dad and what wonderful people they were and what great neighbors they were. Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my prayers. Love, Sue Wasser Beatty
