Tributes

Mrs. Russell " call me Beverly!" : ) A true angel sent by the Lord to bless us and shower your love upon us unconditionally! May your beautiful soul rest in peace in the eternal abode of the Lord. You constantly nourished us with your love, humour, kindness, service and grace. Of course your legendary lemonade scones recipe lives on as that too nourished us. Om Shanti! Shanti! Shanti! Khandu and Vandna.

I quote from a "gratitude" reflection written on 6 March 2014 by my recently deceased husband Paul: "Lovely call from Beverley Russel - mutual appreciation of Valerie Davies, plus sympathetic conditions of needle phobia. ... Beverley has an amazing antennae for phoning at the appropriate moment and keeping the spiritual work practical. I love her dearly and am very grateful for the large part the Russells have affected our lives." These are exactly my sentiments for one so full of love.

Light, laughter and endless care and understanding. An unforgettable lovely woman. She was a loved and cherished tutor and mentor to me and a shining example of how beautiful and gracious a woman may be when she always puts others first and generously gives of her spirit to all. I will be grateful until I too pass for all that was received. Cleone
