This one hurts...real bad. 

Bev attended Rittman High School where I taught and coached. I loved watching her compete. She was fierce, hated to lose and never quit. On the flip side, her heart was as big as her competitive spirit. Everyone liked and respected her. I would have loved to have coached her, told her that frequently...well, until she struck me out in the batting cage 😂...(trying to add some levity to avoid the tears) We developed a very special bond. We lost contact for many years until Facebook reconnected us. I found out about the cancer the day she was diagnosed. I received an unexpected message from her making me aware of the unfortunate news. Her exact words were, "Coach, remember when you always wanted to coach me.? Well I could really use a coach now."

I'm happy that she is pain free and with her dad, her hero, who also was lost way too early.

Rest in Peace Bev. Our loss is certainly Heaven's gain. When we meet again, I'm gonna take that fastball to the opposite field!

Sending heartfelt sympathy and prayers to Bev's family and friends.

So sorry for your loss, especially to you children, to lose a mother at such young ages. 

She was a dear classmate of mine (Rittman High School Class of 1995)

May God wrap His arms of love around you and comfort you.

With Deepest sympathy,
