I worked the day Bev was brutally murdered by an inmate on death row for murdering another woman. As a member of the emergency response team I responded to the scene. She was a beautiful, positive individual who worked to help the inmates. When I left SOCF I went to her grave site and told her I would never forget.

Trying to help prisoners better themselves is such a great gift you had. Not many people would feel that prisoners were worth it. It is sad to know that someone with nothing to gain by hurting you, took your life. Still remembered on the anniversary of your tragic death.

Beverly paid the ultimate price for her efforts to try and help inmates better themselves. It is a waste and a shame that she was murdered at the hands of one of those she tried to help.

On this, the date of the anniversary of her senseless murder, I offer my condolences to her family, friends and fellow corrections professionals.

Rest in Peace Beverly, you are not forgotten.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
