ROSEMARY NASRALLA
From longtime friend, Rosemary Nasralla Marietta, Georgia
To my wise, witty and elegant friend Beverley
We met more than 30 years ago in a business setting and we had great rapport- I remember thinking at the time “what a delightful person!” After that we discovered that our children were going to be involved in Cathi Levy’s performing group and that formed the backbone of our forever friendship. There were about 20 of us theatre moms, with Molly Walton leading us, and we gave our hands, hearts and diverse energies to feed, stage-ready, and mentor those talented children from all areas of Kingston. What a bonding experience it was for us! And now 3 decades later, and with many of us living far and wide, the Moms of our special group remain fast friends. Bev, one of the best memories in my life was with you, on our wonderful journey abroad. We flew to Liverpool, rented a car and drove to London, and after Harrods and some sightseeing we proceeded to the channel tunnel to France! We had so many laughs and fun as we navigated our way (with paper maps and a sense of adventure) to Rennes, where we collected Malene from University. You were the best travel companion! I must say a word also for Ronnie (although he can tell you directly now, can’t he?). He admired you greatly, Bev. He was drawn to your strength of character and genuine nature, and he praised the hospitality you showed him in your beautiful home, KaiNou. My friend, I could go on and on, but I will end for now. I know you are safe with Our Lord in your eternal home, where the beauty of those gardens must give you great joy. Please visit with Ronnie and Hamilton when you can. I can’t wait for the wonderful visits you and I will have when the Lord calls me home too.
Lots of love to you, Bev,
Rosie

JOAN SINCLAIR
I enjoyed the person you were from the first day at LPTPC. My first impression was OMG what a beautiful woman. True to form, you were even more beautiful inside. My fondest memories were of you....Well we would sneak into the theater (on box office break) and had the best time as we fancied ourselves Critics. Oh how we enjoyed those moments. We created many memories together along with our group of beautiful LPTPC friends...a few of which you bonded with in a most delightful way. I am so glad you were a part of my life for so many years. As time passed, we saw less of each other. Life has a way of stepping in and demanding our undivided attention! I heard of your passing quite early and I saw the many calls coming in from our friends and I couldn't answer them. I did not want any confirmation. I did not want to talk. I felt a little guilt for not keeping in touch and more than anything else (as i expressed to Audrey) your condition and sudden passing touched a very familiar nerve. Anyway Ms Bev... i enjoyed the short time we had together...Your 'three little birds' will be more than OK and I know you are proud of them. Rest well Ms. Bev...until we meet again in glory!
MELANIE OWEN
I officially met Mrs Alleyne in 1997. I was in the bathroom at the Air Jamaica building, a nervous wreck because my flight attendant interview was in a few minutes. I was washing my hands and in walked Mrs Alleyne. I said - Hi! You’re Taji’s mom! I recognized her from seeing her at Mona Prep on numerous occasions. She said- Yes and I’m more than that! She asked my name and I told her. She responded that she was familiar with the name from prep school. I pointed out that not only were Taji and I in the same classes, not just grade or form, but the exact same classes, from grades five and six at Mona Prep. We were in the same classes all the way through Campion and UWI as well! I said - If I didn’t know better I’d think that your son has a thing for me! We had a good laugh. She asked what I was doing on the building and I explained that I had a flight attendant interview. A few minutes later I was called into the interview room and there she was again! Mrs Alleyne and Aunty Christine Steele interviewed me. I aced the interview, I think. It could have been that I just met the right person to put me at ease and was already so familiar with Aunty Christine. That was so long ago yet still fresh in my mind. RIP Mrs Alleyne. My condolences to her family.

DIANE BLAKE
My friendship with Bev grew out of our love of working out. It blossomed through the dark times of Covid, Our group of 'gymgals' motivated each other, and kept each other happy. To tell the truth, Bev and I were low-key competitive, always trying to outdo each other and sharing our Fitbit stats. I adored Bev's wicked sense of humor, her poise, elegance and intelligence. I miss her dearly, and I hope she's resting ( or exercising) peacefully with the angels. Walk good dear Bev.
CYNTHIA HUME
Beverley was a dear friend. For over forty years, I've known her and have nothing but fond memories. She was always there to give a listening ear. I've always think of her as the "strong one" ... This is another situation of "gone too soon: She will be truly missed by many. May her soul rest in eternal peace. We will meet in the great beyond. Sleep on my friend...
BEVERLEY AND MICHA ABOUT TO HIT THE GYM
CHRISTINE SENIOR
Beverley, Judith, Paulette and I had a friendship that was meaningful. We cherished every moment we spent together, celebrating birthdays together or just meeting up to laugh and entertain each other. Our Group The NGDT (National Geriatrics Dance Troupe ) was formed while we all performed each year at Men and Women perform for charity concerts. And as the name suggests, we were a group that got much laughter at these concerts. You will be greatly missed my friend. Rest in eternal peace.
VELMA POLLARD
Not a memory, too many to choose from. Go well, my friend I have sent to tell St. Peter that the loving, punctual perfectionist has arrived. We miss you already. Try not to worry God as well as the ancestors will uphold your children with both hands.
LINETTE VASSELL
Bev brings out for me a key aspect of the nature and value of women's friendships...not necessarily only denoted by everyday contact, but by the instant ease of reconnection and mutuality based on shared experiences. as women maturing together. Consequently, I found I could rely on her. emotionally for sensible feedback to current circumstances I would share. Without fanfare but with constancy and courage, Bev. stood on the right side of our people's history of struggle for identity and.dignity. Just thinking of your smile , ,always fresh. and winsome, warms my heart, Miss Bev. Rest in peace my SistaFren...
ANNE-MARIE BONNER
My friend Beverley, the hostess extraordinaire. Her home was always warm and welcoming. The way she would whip up the most delectable dessert with ease and great joy. She was a loving, giving soul and my life has been enriched by our friendship. I will miss her. Rest well dear Bev.
PAT WILSON
Beautiful person, fantastic personality. Grace and Charm. That's how I will remember Bev.
ERROL SCOTT
I work with Beverly at the lnstitute of Jamaica, from the birth of the ACIJ to the posItion of the Exec. Dir, Bev was a down to earth person, always of a listening ears to workers, l remember while she was getting the ACIJ off the ground l approach her for an African name for my first daughter, the name she gave me was Mosheka, l never ask Bev, the meaning of Mosheka because l found the name to be very unique, until today my daughter boast that she's the only person with that name.
RIP Beverly
We'd love you to share your memories of Beverley
