Mental Health America Bell of Hope Memorial

In Loving Memory of
Miss Beverly
DOD - 07/03/2007

 

 

I met Miss Beverly at a homeless shelter for women living with mental illness, where I'd interned this past year for graduate school. Miss Beverly may have lived some of her life very alone... But I hope she knew before leaving us how much she was loved by the family she had at our shelter. She taught all of us about strength, friendship, kindness, and serenity. I know that you said that God brought me to you at the shelter, Miss Beverly, but the truth is, God brought you to me. I learned more from you and the ladies at the shelter than I ever could from any class at school. I'll always miss you. Thank you for simply being you..
