I just found out about Bev's passing. I have many memories of Bev (and Ina) just lighting up things at Thomson's. She had such a kindness about her and just made things at the funeral home "fun". (Is that possible?) Bruce and family thinking of you. - Posted by: Faye Wankling (Friend) on: May 31, 2025

When I was 19, Bev & Ina welcomed me into the Choir at Fort Garry with big smiles and warm hearts. They made a point of giving me opportunities to sing with them in quartets and encouraged me to take on some solos. Bev popped in to say hello many times when I was working at the church, and I loved those short visits. She always encouraged me in my ministry, my surgery recovery, and my personal journey. I will remember the songs and the laughter (so much laughter), and will cherish memories. I am so blessed to have known her. Bruce, I'm sending positive energy your way. Bev, rest well. - Posted by: Sarah Jane Nesbit (fellow singer) on: May 08, 2025

Dear Bruce and family. I so enjoyed getting to know Bev at church, in the choir. She was delightful and always had something crazy to say to make us all laugh! She was a real sweetie and will be missed by so many. So sorry I have to miss her funeral. - Posted by: Wendy Broadfoot (Friend) on: May 05, 2025
