I am one of many missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that visited and grew to love Beryl. We would get together at least once a week and play cards. Our favorite game to play was “14”. Beryls was really good and would always win. After knowing her for quite some time, and playing cards with her many times, I began to get good. And finally I beat her! In the moment I declared to her that I “went out” she poured her glass of water on me! But afterwards she proceeded to make us some of her famous cinnamon rolls, and taught me how to make them. I love Beryl. She was a sweet, funny, loving, caring, and kind woman. She opened her home to anyone who needed her. I look forward to the day when I will see her and hear her wonderful laugh again. Until we meet again, Beryl.

To: Aunt Beryl’s family: My deepest sympathy as you deal with the passing of your loved one. We are never quite ready to let go, even if we know death will be coming, and the heart does not ache any less. However, you can take comfort in knowing Beryl believed and that now the promise of everlasting life is hers. I hadn’t seen Beryl for a few years, but her dry wit was still present, regardless of her age, and it was fun to joke back and forth as usual. Within our family (Dorothy’s children & descendants), Beryl has been credited with having given my sister tips on how to make great-tasting krub and lefsa. Yep, Beryl knew her way around a kitchen–and the sewing machine, too. In my opinion, one of Beryl’s best qualities was her being non-judgemental of others–a great legacy to leave to those left behind!

My heart goes out to all that love her. Im in no way related to her but loved seeing her ! she was a bright light no matter where she was. She was funny, a joy to talk to and hear her quick stories. She always had a smile on her face and took the time to stop and chat. Just seeing her always brought a smile to may face and heart. I know she has touched so many peoples lives. Have fun up there Beryl ! of course I don’t need to tell you that.
