TO BEV’S Family

Please accept our condolences in the loss of you mother. We didn’t know her well. We met her when she came to our house a couple of times with Julie.
We thought of her as that neat,zippy little lady who loved life.

Many people from our area knew her(Trimont) the B&B Steakhouse was the place to go after the dance in Fox Lake.

Our Blessing’s to you

To Bev’s dear family,

I will always cherish my memories of Bev. Such a super woman and a great employer. I loved working for her at the Creamery. She was so much fun and nobody made shrimp like Bev. I will miss her very much. We were so happy to make it to the cafe in Dunnell when she came back to cook shrimp - it was wonderful. (Maybe Deb has the recipe and can make it for us once on while?)
May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you peace and comfort.

Love always,

Linda (Sharar) Klein

To all of Bev’s family ~
What a wonderful woman and a tremdous cook! I remember Bev through my mom who worked for her at B&B and the Creamery. She was warm and thoughtful and a friend to everyone.
Cherish your memories and know you are not alone in your feelings of loss.

Deb and family. With sincere condolences to all of you. BeBe, it was so good to see you when we ran into you out at the hospital in Sioux Falls. I wish that I could have made it to the service today. Lory, I wish you well. What a sad time to have these things happen and yet what a beautiful time of the year for two such classy women as your mother and my mother-in-law who passed away on the 18th. God Bless.
