Bev trained me in as a new pharmacist at Saint Marys Hospital. She was perfect in this role and taught me a great deal about patient-focused care. She was a one-of-a-kind in the best sense and was so much fun to work with. Bev and a wonderful sense of humor and the more you got to know her the more that you liked and respected her. She cared about all of us. Great memories of a great person. Joe Kostick
