Beverly was a kind and gracious woman. She always had a smile when she saw you. She had a good life, and now she can rest in peace. My condolences to Peter.
Enjoyed Beverly’s company. Did not know her early background. My grandfather, George Morris, was a well-known doctor in South Boston about the time of Beverly’s’ uncle. The Gavin School in South Boston was named for my great grandfather who also I believe was a doctor in South Boston. I’m sorry I did not know Beverly’s history when she was alive. We will all miss her.
Beverly was a sweet person. Every time she would see me walking my dog she would come over and say what a cute dog! She always had a good word for eveyone. She will be missed. Thinking of you Peter.
Beverly was Assistant Principal at the Mattahunt School in Boston when I was assigned to teach there. She was always encouraging and complimentary and a pleasure to know. Rest in peace, Beverly.
