January 28, 1942 - October 16, 2020
 
We met at a dance on Labour Day weekend, 1985 and Bev saved her last dance for me on October 16, 2020. {with love, Gord}
 
Bev left us with these written words …
“Sadly, I must inform you I have changed my address. I leave behind my loving husband Gordon; my son Chris (Lisa) Carswell, precious grandchildren Kai, Gabe & Finlay; brother Bob (Judy) Manary; extended family Mike (Kelly) Brown, Mike Jr & Kathleen; Doug (Kim) Brown, Amanda (Zach), Colin, Jessica (Scott); Rob (Lisa) Brown and twins Madison & Jacob.
 
Special thanks to my husband Gordon, for his love and devoted care throughout this illness. He was my rock. Gordon says he will remember what a special person I was to so many, always ready to travel, camp, go boating and skiing and that he will miss my companionship and love immensely. We were blessed with 35 wonderful years together.
 
Also thanks to my ‘3 musketeer’ nursing friends for their humour and endless visits, to my class of ‘65 nursing classmates who drove long distances to visit me, to my special lifetime friend Allyson and family Logan & Jocelyn, to all other friends, nurse Pat, PSWs and neighbours. They gave me many wonderful memories and their cards and texts were uplifting, consoling and helpful during a difficult time.
 
I worked as a Registered Nurse at Cambridge Memorial Hospital for 30 years. I loved people, enjoyed my crafts, gardening, cottage times on Christian Island and most of all, time spent with family, children and friends. I felt a great love of life.”
 
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. Donations to the ALS Society of Canada would be appreciated. 
 
“God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be,
He closed His arms around you and whispered, “Come to me.”
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping, so peacefully free from pain,
We would not wish you back to suffer that again.
So treasure her Lord, in Your garden of rest.”

Such a beautiful soul will surely be missed by so many. May you be at rest after a long fought battle, Bev. Such a strong, loving spirit that shined through in you right to the end. Thank you for so many years of being that ‘like a mom’ mentor and friend. You leave myself and so many, with wonderful memories and will be in our hearts always. Rest in peace (maybe with your Elvis gospel playing on occasion) beautiful lady. :) My condolences to Gord and Chris and those who also loved you. May you find healing in all the good memories. Ally xoxo

Bev fought this disease with such determination. She was one beautiful lady that I looked up to and respected so much. Bev was a wonderful nurse and I enjoyed working with her. You are at peace now Bev..

Gord, Chris and family,
I am sending my kindest thoughts to you today. Such sad news to get about Bev.
She taught us all so much about living and loving.

Dear Gord, Chris and all family members,

I am so terribly conflicted about losing such a beautiful person. So glad Bev is no longer suffering, but still, her entire nursing class will miss her wonderful smile, her quiet sense of humour and her indomitable fighting spirit. Bev was always so positive and so very proud of you both. She had such an appreciation of your love and constant support and shared that with us frequently. Now you will have to be each other's rock, which is what she called you

We extend our greatest sympathy to you. I truly believe that our loved ones are never lost to us. So long as we talk about them, and share our memories, they will always be with us, just around the corner, out of sight, but in a quiet place in our hearts

Take care of each other
Stay safe
Barbara and Keith Simonson
