So sorry with the loss of your wife and mom, she was a wonderful lady. She always was willing to help with anything. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless Bev
May she rest in peace.
Aunt Bev always treated me so well! A heart of gold! I think I spent more time at her house then my own growing up hanging with my cousins, they always welcomed me with open arms I have so many great memories that will last a lifetime. She will be missed greatly! My thoughts and prayers are with all! Love and hugs
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Roden family. After spending time with Lori, Lisa and Keri (spouses and kiddos) at the lake, we know Bev and Floyd were awesome parents and raised strong young women. We were lucky enough to meet Bev and Floyd twice, but heard so many wonderful things from their daughters about how much fun they had with their family and they truly honored their parents. Hold onto all the great memories, when you are feeling down, do something nice for someone she loved. Vanessa & Barry Branson
Bev was an amazing person with a heart full of generosity. One needs to only look at her kids and grandkids to see evidence of her wonderful works here on earth. Rest in heaven Bev, and watch over us all.
Sorry for your loss
The world has lost a beautiful, kind lady. My sincere condolences to Floyd and their entire family.
Our sincere sympathy to Floyd, her children and all of the Beumer and Roden families. She was indeed a beautiful and well loved lady.
Sincere condolences to Floyd and his family from the Bell family.
