Bev's Retirement Party

Oops....this post was supposed to go before the Moving Day post!

May 11, 2013


Brandon's Mom officially retired back in April and we had a party for her in May.




Kim, Brandon's sister, put together some photo boards....

......and we had everyone write some "Retirement Advice" to Bev.....

.....and sign a picture matte for her too.

Bev was the church secretary for 17 years and also kept the kids in the church nursery.  Everyone LOVES Mrs. Bev!

We had a great turn out for her party.






Brandon spoke a few words about his Momma - about her faithfulness, dedication and perseverance.  He told of how, before this job, she worked a factory job that she hated, just to help provide for the family.  And how she had learned of the church secretary job, but didn't know how to type, so put herself through classes to learn.  Then, when the job came open again, she was able to be confident in her skills when applying and getting it.


Then it was time for cake and desserts!






Bev with her family:
Back row: Justin (Grandson), Jimmy (Hubby), Billy (Son-in-law), Pam (Sister), 
Sandra (Sister), Brandon (Son)
Middle Row: Aislin (Great-Granddaughter), Bev, Kim (Daughter), 
Cindy (Sis-in-Law), Me (Daugher-in-Law)
Front Row: Dennis (Brother), Martha (Mother)

Congratulations Bev!!  Enjoy retirement and don't work Jimmy too hard.  ;)
