Oh hun! I am so sorry!! I never knew Bev, but I know she was a real pistol from reading her posts. I can't imagine the loss you and her close loved ones feel.
If an idiot speaks in an empty room, do they still sound dumb??

Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't know her but she seemed like quite the character. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and her family at this difficult time.

We will all miss her irreverant wit, and remarkable insight and intelligence. I am taken aback,,, I was unaware that her surgery was of such a serious nature. My heart goes out to you, MG,, as well as to her family and other friends. It is a great loss to us all.

Thanks for being strong enough to be the bearer of bad news. Her spirit will be missed on the board as elsewhere. Please keep us posted as to arrangements, time, and funeral home. Some will want to leave e-mail condolences. She toughed it out til the end. Hopefully she is at peace now...............

My heart goes out to you. Losing a best friend is so hard especially when you share a common bond. There aren't any words to make it any better or easier. Just remember to breathe...sounds simple but at times almost impossible.You're in my prayers.

That is terrible news. From all Bev's recent messages that showed her indomitable spirit, you would never have guessed she was so seriously ill. Like E-Dog, she will leave a large hole in our lives. Who am I going to butt heads with now?
Thank you for bringing us the news, Karen. I feel for you. And thank you for being there for Bev. I hope she's in a happy place of her choice.

Aww... 
She will absolutely be missed. She was hardcore, but definitely had a soft spot
I hope her puppy is okay.

I am just now seeing this and I am utterly heartbroken. I so hoped she would pull out of this. I'm glad I got to talk to her and tell her I loved her. Oh, this is just so sad. I will PM you Karen.
