Dear Allen family, I was saddened by this news. Bev was an incredibly strong, knowledgeable, professional, who influenced me a great deal. She showed me amazing respect and I had great respect for Bev as a wonderful colleague. Her solid demeanor led me (and our team members) to become better pharmacy team members. Bev always did the right thing, because, it was "the right thing". She was diligent in her work, but often shared laughter. Peace, comfort and Blessings to the Allen family. Bob Hoel.
