Her smile and grace was nothing short of amazing. Beverly’s customers were lucky, but KaTom was truly blessed by her presence. I may never again come across a soul so reliable and dedicated to her work, her friends, and her family. Beverly put all her heart into her work and always appreciated a job well done. Beverly, we will never truly be the same without you but our precious memories of you will never fade.

She was always warm and friendly and a pleasure to work with. So often she wore her Gators attire on days that I came in the office (I wonder if she did it purposely) and we enjoyed trading barbs over her Gators and my Bulldogs. She will be missed always.

Today was your funeral and there were so many people, there was hardly room to walk in the door. You have touched so many lives and done the work God sent you here to do and now it has to time for you to go home. We all know your in a much better place now and no longer suffering, it just hurts that we wont be able to see that cute smile of yours anymore or get to hear your laugh. There weren't many dry eyes today and I can speak for myself I wasn't crying for you I was cryin for me. (Toby Keith Cryin for Me song) I heard this song this morning just as I woke up for the very first time, and it will always be a special song to remind me of Bev! She will live on in our hearts forever and will never be forgotten. My prayers are with her family may God Bless them each and everyone. KaTom will never be the same again but is a much better place having had Bev! She was "the all knowing one, the backbone" and everyone could and would go to her for help. Just like wrote above that sweet southern charm of hers could smooth over any situation she was definately a huge asset to the company and made an everlasting impression on everyone here. I am very thankful for having had the honor of Beverly being in my life. We Love & Miss You, Christy Beverly Beverly,

Her ability to handle the difficult and still remain sane is something most of us wish we couild do. Her attitude toward work was something that is not seen in many places in this day and time. She was a diligent lady. I can't remember not having Beverly's smile to greet me when I walked through to door over the years, along with her willingness to be of help. Her attention to detail will always be with me. Her friendship will be treasured and I am sure going to miss the hugs, too. I look forward to meeting with her again in Glory.

To say amazing is just not enough, every problem, every piece of equipment that I needed, no matter what, Beverly handled with Customer Care above and beyond. She helped me grow in the industry and I will miss her a lot. She invited me down to visit several times, and I just could not find the time, now I will regret not meeting her personally, she will be a loss to The Bibles, her family and to each and everyone of us that had contact with her. I send my sincere sympathy and knowing Beverly she is looking down at us and saying "I now live in a better place and I will be watching you"......

She has been a part of the Katom success story and will be missed dearly. We need to all remember the fight and struggle is only valued if we loved enough, helped enough and became closer to Christ. Thank you for helping me. I am so sorry to hear about Beverly. She has been a part of the Katom success story and will be missed dearly.

The memorial email was so very touching and I was moved to tears. I just read it again and it is all I can do to type this. I wish I could have met Ms. Beverly in person as she was obviously a shining light in this world that touched and changed the lives of many people, even those she never met in person.

It is difficult to loose anyone, whether to sickness or tragedy, family or friends. May you take comfort in knowing that God is still in control and that HE is only a prayer away. During these tragic times I count the many blessings of those who care, love and surround me and my family during a crisis. In deepest sympathy Mandy & Bob Gilgunn. I am so sorry for your loss.

But the happiness it brings you Always gives a special lift. And you realize that friendship Is God's precious gift. I have been thinking about you all day. I just want your family to know what an impact you had on us all. Bev,

I though of you when I read this:

There’s a miracle called Friendship
That dwells within the heart,
And you don’t know how it happened
Or when it get its start.
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift.
And you realize that friendship
Is God’s precious gift.

I have been thinking about you all day. I just want your family to know what an impact you had on us all.
