" I was so sorry to hear of Bev?s passing and wish to extend my sympathy to her family and friends. Gene and Bev were such a blessing for our family and were always there to help in any way they could, taking care of our children and helping us move so many times. She will be greatly missed by the Huff family."

"Bev, missing you. I stopped by Monday night to check on you and see if you could use any of the coronavirus supplies I picked up on the way home from work. You didn't open the kitchen door like usual. A while later Kevin told me you died that morning. I wish I had known you were sick, I could/would have spent time with you in the morning before work. I could have had the chance to tell you one more time how important you are. I'm sorry. I miss you, your smile, conversation, hugs. You are loved."

"Was saddened to see this. Bev and Gene were our neighbors out on the farm, when we were first married. Both such kind and quiet people, and very generous with their time. I enjoyed visiting with Bev whenever I would see her out and about. I?m sure she is rejoicing being reunited with Gene. We will always remember them fondly."
"The TLC Quilters are heartbroken... Bev was always such a ray of sunshine for all of us! She worked very hard and loved what she did. There are sew many little ones and those of all ages that have been blessed by a quilt that Bev worked on, her love and prayers neatly tucked inside never to be seen, just felt. Her bright smile, her sweet laugh and her wonderful hugs will be very much missed by all us... Bev will always be with us, she, just like her quilts with her love and prayers will be forever tucked within the TLC Quilters hearts...not to be seen but felt...forever, what a gift..."
