Beverly passed away last Friday. For those of you who didnt know her,
she was a very involved Colorado Rainbow. She was a very sweet and
kind lady and will be greatly missed by many. Beverly helped many
folks passing through and residing in Colorado. She was very involved
in helping homeless folks in the Boulder area. For those of you who
did know her, Beverly's memorial is tomorrow (Friday) in Lafayette. I
copied the following from the Boulder newspaper.
