Dear Saul, Sons and Family. My deepest condolences for your loss. Bev was an extraordinary woman. Her strength, beauty and elegance surpassed perhaps only by her unconditional love and immense pride of her family. Bev was like a second mom to me. I will always hold dearly the countless great childhood memories spending time at your house on Owen Blvd, where she always welcomed me with open arms. She glowed with pride for all of your achievements (evidenced by that beautiful picture of her at Ryan and Brandy's wedding). Angela and I are thinking of you all during this most difficult time. All our Love.
