My deepest sympathies. Mrs. Drake was a special lady who always gave me a kind word and a blessing. I will miss seeing her everyday when she picked up Isiah after school. May her spirit live on in her children and her smile forever in my heart.
Thank you so much for your kind words on my mom
Beverly was a sweet, kind person, and neighbor she will be missed by many.. RIP Beverly. The Hillgers..
Our deepest sympathies go out to your family. On behalf of the Bayside family I want to say that Mrs. Drake will be sorely missed. She was always positive, gentle, kind, and lifted us all up. She will be missed.
You blessed my family so many times. Thank you. God bless your family
Drake Family, My heart is absolutely broken for all of you to have lost such a light in your lives. Beverly’s positivity through the most challenging of circumstances was truly an inspiration to me. Because she lived such a selfless life, she lives on in every single one of us whom she poured into. Due to our substitute situation, I was unable to leave school to attend the service but was able to view it online. It was a lovely ceremony- which truly celebrated a life well-lived. Please give Isaiah a hug from me. I will be reaching out to you soon. With love- Crystal Starke (one of Isaiah’s teacher’s from Mossman)
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Keith and I fondly remember Beverly’s compassion and care for her children. Her selflessness and commitment to helping children’s lives better was her ultimate expression of her faith. We praise God for her life and will see her again. Prayers are with you.
i miss you mom.
