Bev, Thankyou for being a wonderful friend to my mom{Christel}. You brought many smiles to her face. You were a true friend . you will be missed.. Candy

Beverly, you always made me laugh so hard that it made me cry always enjoy the stories you told. You were a dear friend to me at work. We were the best of buds.

My Dearest Sister, I will begin at the beginning. I remember well the day they took us to the Orphanage and Grandma setting our little suitcases on the ground and telling the four of us, You, Carol, Janet and myself that she was going on vacation and would be back to get us. That is what she had to say for her heart was so breaking knowing she had to leave us there. It was such a hard time and we were all crying but there you were, this little girl of eight taking care of here sisters who were three, four and five. You held on to us as they took us down that long sidewalk into the huge building, all of us looking back just screaming for Grandma as she stood watching her babies leave her. We all slept with you that night as you became our protector and protect us you did. Then came the day we were all in the big dining room watching that movie on a Saturday night and they came and took you out, then they came and got Carol, Janet and me. That long, long hallway we walked down looking at you standing by the big statue of the Blessed Mother, crying, and there was one of the little suitcases that we came there with, "BUT" just one. Sister Mary Margaret said "Say goodbye to your Sister girls your never going to see her again". Harsh words for little girls to hear, I know none of the four of us ever forgot them. So there you were, now nine, understanding better than the rest of us at four, five, and six just what was happening. We did what we knew best, we all started crying so hard. How your heart broke that night, and so did ours. This time the three of us slept together without you. We fooled them though didn't we? We did see each other again, all of us. The love and caring just picked up where it left off and those dark, dark days that we all remembered became the past and we made the present what it was meant to be, "Happy". For all the heartache we shared and for all the times you took care of me I am eternally thankful and know how much you loved me.For all the fun we had and for all you always did for me I shall always bow my head when I think of you, which shall be often. For all the love and joy you brought into Corey's life, the wonderful Aunt you always were to him, the love you so gave him, thanks for loving my child as you loved your own. You and I had miles and miles of good times through the years and for the times we shared that were not so pleasant the sad times, well we were there for each other and that is what made us "SISTERS". The good and the sad, and the hard times. So my Dear, Dear Sister,"WE" shall see each other again, and in the meantime I shall keep that spot in my heart filled with you till then. Help me out when you think I need it, do something to get my attention when you think a big sister is what I need, for a big sister you always were. I loved you so much, I always shall. Yes Bev, I do remember the day you came to get Jan and I to take us to see Grandma and you were 12 by then, Jan and I were seven and eight and my adopted Dad told you to leave and you ran up the street crying and had to tell Grandma you couldn't find us, I remember your heartache well because all three of us shared the same heartache again. Four little girls crying themselves to sleep, then three little girls crying themselves to sleep, and that night there were only two little girls crying themselves to sleep. We were "SISTERS" and we all shared the same wounds. The tie that binds, and that tie shall never be broken because I know you will be waiting for all of us and I know till then you will always protect us when you can. My Dear wonderful, loving, funny, warm, kind, "BIG SISTER" I loved you then, I love you now, I shall see you again, for sure!!!! You have fun up there, you remember "MOM" now don't you, and just how is Chuck doing, bet he was happy to see you!! Can you share a cloud with him? Is that allowed? Hang in there Bebby, your other "SIX" well we'll be there too someday, till then you have some wonderful company that your with right now so enjoy yourself and we all will think of you often and always with love. Thanks for so many things, but most of all "Thanks for being my "Big Sister"!!Sherry

For the past year and 8 months I've looked forward to seeing Bev at work, chatting with me through the Laboratory window. She truly was a wonderful lady, and I know she could see the good in everyone. Though she worked all of her adult life, she knew the importance of slowing down and enjoying life once in awhile, and she helped me enjoy my day as well. I'm really going to miss her. I hope she's kicking back right now, finally stress and worry free!

Bev,I hope you're playing Yahtzee with Lee. You will be sorely missed!Ron & Cauleen

My Aunt my Godmother, my world already feels less complete. My whole life I've always seen your ready smile and felt your warm hugs...you will be missed.Love You Aunt "Bev" your "Little Ricky"

Bev was a good friend to myself and my mother Cauleen Langenbach. She was always seen with a smile on her face which in turn put a smile on my face. You will be missed Bev.

Bev was a wonderful and caring friend to my uncle, Richard Ahlefeldt. I enjoyed seeing her every time Richard brought her to a family outing. She was a kind person who always had nice things to say to everyone she met. She will be greatly missed.
