So sorry to hear about bev she willl be sadly missed condolences to the family
Bev and Tom play a very important role with our family, (as well as their community) and we can’t express enough how much we admire, treasure and adore them both. Kind, empathetic, caring, giving, strong as oxen these two peas in a pod. I will always remember Bev’s lovely chuckling giggle, her sparkling eyes and the way she’d say “That’s right”, so very reassuringly. Our hearts go out to you Tom and all the kids, grand kids who love you both so much… lean into each other as much as you can right now. So much love to you all… we’ll be on the way to deliver flat whites, sweet treats and a spare hot chocolate very soon…
