Mom, I’ve told you so many times, and I will tell you just one more time, you are the most amazing person I have ever know and these last two years that you lived with me, have made me appreciate you even more, every once in awhile I got taste of that smart mouth, like when you said, I want some toast and jam, CHOP CHOP,,so I learned how to move a little faster! When it came closer to the time for you to be with dad, I am even more thankful that I was with you! And know that I am so blessed to have you as my mom and friend! Love you forever Until we meet again

My Mom, Frankie Roger’s Patillo always told us stories about growing up with Dunc Colvin and going to Mt Olive School in Ozark County on H Hwy. She later was friends with both Dunc and Beryl. I loved to listen to Beryl talk with that accent that she never seemed to lose. My sympathy to her family. She had a long eventful life and know she will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Beryl’s family. She was an amazing lady and I was lucky to be called her friend and one of her “pool girls”. Beryl, you sure will be missed but I find comfort knowing that you are no longer in pain. Your pain was 24/7 for several years but you never let it stop you from doing whatever you felt needed done nor did you ever complain. Rest in peace sweet lady.??

My thoughts and condolences go out to Linda, Brian, and the rest of Miss Beryl’s family. She and I shared the same passions: the sun, water, and apple cakes. Beryl was a sweet soul and may she rest in Heavenly peace.
