I'm so glad that someone representing the DIS community was able to be there for her today. Thanks Towncrier.
I also met Beverly as part of the CCSS contingent of 2001. People didn't just up and fly off to meet people at WDW then, in a group anyway, it was kind of an unusual thing to do. I give her a lot of credit for the success of it, for being a ruthlessly efficient-yet-zany spiritual leader of the group. She kept us busy and laughing and mostly all accounted for at all times. She was hilarious. As a roommate, thoughtful and generous.
I've never seen two people bond so fast as she and Leota did though. Like long-lost sisters. And it stayed that way. Friendships endured. Not mine and BL's, unfortunately, which I've been kicking myself most of the day about and sounds a lot like what TVT posted earlier...but the utter wrongness of this news today was still like a ton of bricks. I cannot imagine the pain of those who loved her most. Some of them are right here with us.
Love ya BL.
