When she lost her husband in 2005, this extended family was there for companionship and love and laughs. Beverly worked in BSL Mini Mart and later at Old Brunswick General Store.

My heart goes out to all of the family and friends. I met Bev when I was a teenager and she was working up at BSL Mini mart. I would ride my bike or horse to go see and talk to her. She had the best laugh, was so easy to talk to and was a loving and caring lady. She will be greatly missed. May you find comfort and peace during this time, and know that her friends in NC really did love her.
Low you mom
She loved Michael the most and only wishes Kerri would seek mental care for she is crazy
Beverly Clark only felt her most comfortable with Kerrie. Kerrie is batshit crazy and figured at Bevs age she could do whatever she wanted. It does not matter who Beverly loved most. Who loved Beverly the most is what matters. Mum I love the most ❤️
