Carrie & families:
my thoughts and prayers are with you all …..
I’m so sad and feeling so much sorrow for the Metscher family. I had the privilege of knowing Bev and becoming wonderful friends. It’s certainly a loss for me too. When I first moved in and my little Yorkipoo went outside Bev said I don’t really care for dogs. Two weeks later Bailey and Bev just became the best friends. He loved her and she couldn’t get enough of him. We three created such a bond. Bev loved to snack and I loved to cook and bake so I always made enough to say “Hey I have cookies, cake, chili, spaghetti for you. She would say oh good now I have dinner. We had many laughs!
REST IN PEACE my dear dear friend!
Love Pat and Bailey
I was so sad to hear the news. RIP my dear cousin. Much love to all the family
My thoughts and prayers are with your family!
