Dear Irwin, Bella, Justin,Corey and Stacy, Bev. was a lovely lady and I think that anyone who was lucky enough to meet her learned a lot about how to behave. She was beautiful inside and out and so very courageous. She is truly a great loss, your hurt will recede and eventually it will be the best things you will remember. Greta.

Dear Stacey, Justin, Irwin, and family, We are deeply saddened by the loss of a very dear friend to our family. Beverly and Molli knew each other for a very long time and throughout the years they were there for each other and they enjoyed many dinners together as couples with your father Ron, and the late Bernie. We share fond memories of the kind, warm, and caring person that Beverly was. She was a very strong woman who endured a lot and faced her long battle of cancer with grace and dignity. We are so truly sorry that you are having to say goodbye to your beloved mother shortly after your father. Please find comfort and strength in all the memories you shared with her. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. With Love, Molli, Rachelle, and Morey Najman

Beverly and I met in the summer of 1967 when we were both hired to work at The Toronto Telegram newspaper. Over the next 54 years not only did we maintain our friendship but we also worked together at the Toronto Airport Project (where Bev and Ron met and fell in love), and later when I recruited Bev to join me at the Ontario Dental Association where, for a number of years, she very capably organized the student session monitors for ODA's Annual Spring Meeting. Bev never changed - she was the same vivacious, hilarious, warm and caring person throughout all those years from the fun-filled 'salad days' of our youth during the 'swinging sixties' to our slower, but still enjoyable days as senior citizens brunching at Bayview Shopping Centre. I loved her dearly and will miss her greatly. My condolences to Stacey and Justin - you won life's lottery when you were blessed with such marvelous parents - though there is terrible sorrow and sadness now you have wonderful memories to draw upon in the years ahead. Much love to you both, Diana Thorneycroft

My sincere condolences to Justin, Stacey and family. Bev was a truly one of a kind, her love of her family always shone in her eyes when she spoke of them. I was blessed to have met and shared many years having monthly brunches, and our yearly room sharing at the Annual Spring Meetings when we got to work together. These memories I will cherish. There are now 2 bright shining stars in the Universe. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this sad time. Mila Chesterfield

My sister ‘s courage ,optimism and endurance showed the fighter that she was. Bev never gave up. She was an exceptional mom , always concerned and supportive of her children Stacey and Justin whom she loved dearly.The apple of her eye were her grandchildren Rachel and Nathan who were truly special and adored by her. She was so proud of them and they were always in her thoughts. No words can describe the love and affection she had for them. Now after a courageous fight, Bev will be with her wonderful husband Ron. Rest in peace, my dear sister, I will forever miss and love you.

Dear Stacey and Justin, My sincere condolences at the loss of your dear mother. Bev was a such a bright spark and a very kind friend to me. Her warmth, terrific sense of humour, and kindness are what I remember - and her terrific fashion sense! I loved our shopping expeditions where Bev found the best outfits for me. I shall treasure those memories.

Beverly was one of the bravest people I have ever known. She broached each day as a new challenge and never once said why me. It was special for me to be able to spend time with my dear friend and share wonderful memories. Bev and Ron had a special love for each other and of course Justin and Stacey. No two parents could have been prouder of their children. No one could have asked for better grandparents and to have Bev and Ron as your friend was an added bonus. I will miss our daily phone calls but I will still speak to you every day my dear friend. Rest in peace with your beloved Ron by your side.

Dear Justin, Stacy and family, so very sad to hear about the passing of your special Mother. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Cousin Beverly growing up. Our family trip to Expo 67 with 7 of us squished into a 2 bedroom Hotel was one of my most cherished. Sorry for all you have been through especially with the recent loss of you beloved Father who was always so nice. Hope that all those special memories you shared together bring you some comfort during these challenging times.

In 1971 I came to Toronto from Ottawa and got a job at the Toronto Airport Project where I met Bev and Ron and a host of other people, some of who became good friends; Bev, Ron, and Bev's very good friend Diana Thorneycroft were three of those for me and there were occasional get togethers for dinners or just gab sessions. In later years Diana kept me up to date on Bev and Ron's growing family and sadly their illness in the last few years. Deepest condolences to Stacey and Justin and Bev and Ron's family members and friends. Two people who made an impact on my life and who will be sorely missed.

Dear Bella and Irwin, Stacey and Justin, It is with a heavy heart that we dedicate this tribute to an amazing lady..We have known Bev and Ron for over 30 years. We would run into each other in our neighbourhood and would always look forward to seeing them at Bella and Irwins home. We would have wonderful conversations about many subjects. They always asked about our family. As sick as Bev was she would always take the time to check on me. In fact as difficult as it was for her to talk, she took the time to wish me a happy birthday. Always thinking of others before herself. A very kind generous soul.. They dont make them like Bev anymore. She was such a special lady a real class act. We will miss this wonderful lady. Please take comfort in knowing that both Ron and Bev are together again wrapped with love in a new place. With love , Brandi, Allan and Matthew Eisen

It is so hard to express how impressed we always were with the relationship that Bev had with her Brother Irwin. We enjoyed our visits to her and Ron and will miss her at Irwin’s holiday get togethers. We are happy that she has joined Ron but sad that we will never see her again. She has left behind a strong and beautiful family.
