It is a sad day when someone leaves this world suddenly, my wife and I were at the school the day Beverly passed, in fact we walked by her several times without realizing something was wrong. It is often that student will catnap in the common area, so we didn’t think anything out of the ordinary was going on. In the future, I will be more attentive to the condition of “napping” people here. We are saddened by her passing and will be more aware of those who may be in distress and may need help. D&C Baker
