Dennis, so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Beryl. May GOD give you and your family comfort in your many memories of her. You and your family will be in my prayers.
I guess we met Beryl about the second time she had a date with Dennis, because
back then he and I were roommates and double-dated a lot. Fast forward a couple of years, and we’re two married couples! Then school is out, and we don’t see each other for another 45 years.
Lunette and I consider it a blessing that we have been able to share small interludes
of time with Beryl and Dennis these last few years at Aggie band events. The last was only a few months ago, and she was the picture of health. Though we are taking it hard that her health and life were so quickly taken away, that is a mere glimpse of the pain that you, her family, must feel about the untimely loss of a dear
wife, mother, sister, grandmother and aunt. We pray for your comfort during this
terrible time of grief, and find comfort ourselves from Dennis’s firm faith that there
will be a reunion in Heaven someday. Just imagine that Beryl is holding her grandson in her arms this minute.
We are very sorry that, due to illness, we will not be able to attend the Celebration of Life service on Saturday. We would have liked to meet your whole family.
God Bless You All!
Dennis, I was sorry to hear of your loss. I would like to have been able to attend the funeral and see your family and hear their stories and their talents. It’s hard to believe that it has been fifteen years since I saw you. I still think of you, my boss, when I see the wooden crafts you made for me. You were very talented. They say to give the roses while you are living. I would like to say you were the best boss anyone could have. You had a smile and something funny to say or something to enlighten our horizons. You were a real blessing to me. I am thankful for having a Christian supervisor.
Beryl always had a smile to share. I know she will be missed but we have that ‘hope’ of seeing her again. The good memories will warm your heart. If you get a chance, you may call or email us.

Dear Dennis, Kristen,Darrin, and Shawn. I have been keeping up with Beryl for sometime and prayed for her and each of you and your family during these months. We are so very sad for you and the loss of a very beautiful and spiritual lady. You were great friends to us when we were at Northeast. All of those years together. I am so sorry for the sinful part of the reasons our relationships were split up, but I never stopped thinking of you all and the times we shared. It was very painful to be separated from you. I still see Beryl’s sweet smile and I loving heart. I have tons of pictures if you would like to have copies. We are all reaching toward the promised land and praise God for the joy our wonderful Beryl is experiencing with her Lord now. Please forgive and know that we are praying for you. Suzanne
