Deepest sympathies to David & Evan and Bevs extended families in the loss of your mum/sister…. Bev was a wonderful nurse, a lovely kind lady and will be greatly missed in the community……from Dianne Norton-Taylor (McGregor).
Condolences to Bev’s two sons, David and Evan and the rest of her extended family. I met Bev at St Andrews and then at Westland High School where she worked as a much respected teacher’s aide. She was so knowledgeable about life and enjoyed sharing this knowledge with the students. A lovely, gentle, well-liked lady. She is going to be sorely missed by all who knew her.
