Yesterday

Bless you, Bev. you are with Ron again. We had many happy times with the Balloon Club. Thank you for your friendship and advice over the years.
So best to remember the Balloonist's Prayer.

The Winds have Welcomed you with softness.
The Sun has blessed you with its warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well
that God has joined you in your laughter
and set you gently back again
into the loving arms of Mother Earth.
Tony and Meryl.

So sad to hear of Bev´s passing but know she will be pleased to be with her beloved Ron. Bev & Ron were long time members of the Ngaruawahia Golf Club and loved by all who knew them. Bev volunteered with the Waikato Asthma Society, running a very popular biannual golf tournament at our club for many years and raised a lot of money for the society. An absolute Wonder Woman. RIP Bev

To the family of Bev. My condolences to you all. I worked with Mum, "Mother," in the Operating Theatres for over 30 years. The fun we had. Your Mum had a great since of mischief and, caring for everyone. She was a dedicated Nurse and, when she was assigned a task, gave it a 110%. She, and your Dad, put time in, deeply caring for you all, as you grew up. Great parents and, great role models. Her commitment to the Asthma Soc, was 2nd to none. She was very proud of you all. And, she was a great baker as well. We look forward to the next Theatre Nurse Reunion Bev. Assuming we all arrive on the same cloud. Rest well.

In loving memory of my friend Bev "Mother" who always had her finger on the pulse! She kept us all connected in her own unique way.
Always nurturing and ready to lend an ear or share a laugh, her warmth made every gathering feel truly special.
Her fun loving spirit and genuine care, made her truly one of a kind. I will forever cherish the beautiful moments we shared, working together in theatre 1.
What a wonderful friend she was...
Forever in my heart, love Lyn x
