Beverly was a good friend as well as a coworker. We shared times of joy and heartache. God has received another angel for his kingdom. Prayers for family and friends.
One of the best teachers I ever had. She taught us so much more than what was just in the books. She taught us life lessons that I still use today. She will be greatly missed.
Mrs. Waldrop was one of the most impactful teachers in my life. I am 45 years old and from one 6th grade year in her classroom can still recall so many wise words, creative challenges, and humorous antidotes. She will be dearly missed and my prayers of love and strength go to all her family and friends.
Being a teen friend of Teri’s I was frequently at the Waldrop home. Beverly and Jerry were always gracious and welcoming. Beverly was a beautiful lady! Teri, I am so sorry for your loss. Praying Gods comfort.
I knew Beverly & Jerry many years ago while attending First Assembly of God in Beaumont, Texas.
She was a friend, fun to be around,
She thought our Donna was the cutest little girl. I will always remember the good times spent with them.
Sending love & condolences to her family.
Til we meet again.
