Condolences / Guest Book

  1. Our sincere condolences to Bev’s children, Rosey, Andrew, Alison and Simon and their families at this sad time. Bev was a treasured friend of our late parents, Ted and Betty Rohan and remained interested in the events in the lives of our own families. Bev was positive, cheerful, interested, caring and encouraging. A gracious lady who will be missed. Denise, Peter and Philip Rohan

  2. Bev, beloved mother to Andrew, Rosey, Alison and Simon. Grandmother to Augustine, Giselle, Alexander and Natasha. Her acute mind was supported by a voracious appetite for reading and bringing joy to friends new and old. Her wonderful knits kept many an infant and adults warm and loved. A life devoted to her family and her god, she will be greatly missed.

  3. Bev was sharp to her end always interested in current affairs, her family, her friends and her carers. Bev, aka ‘mum’ to Andrew, Rosey, Alison and myself loved a good book and a chat about it was a renaissance gal also liking music, theatre and the arts. Bev will be missed by our partners Sue, Anj, Kevin and John and particularly by her grand children who all appreciated her calm and warmth.

  6. Bev was a beloved aunty to Jill and Neil, and great aunt to Erin, Alison, and Simon. We will miss her and her beautiful smile that could light up a room

  7. Bev was a dear friend to Colma from when they met aged three and four, then a good friend to the whole McDonald family.
    Bev and Colma trained together as nurses at Bethesda Hospital.
    A reader, a keen Radio National listener, one of PA’s Gladdies, Bev was always interesting in a conversation. Our thoughts are with all of the Boyd clan.
