Please accept my sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
Bev was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She had a sparkle in her eye and her little chuckle made her a wonderful co-worker and a perfect fit for a server at the great Michael's Restaurant. The world is a better place having had Bev Baker in it. Hugs to all of the family. I know you'll feel the loss of this gem, but also know you have many fond memories of time with her. Jerry and I send our sincere condolences.
