MARION DEMPKEY.....HARGREAVES
I met.Beverly on the first day of school (Tylenol School in Muskegon) in Mr. Hall's class. She was seated when I entered, and as I was looking around for a place to set, she called out excitedly, "Sit with me !". I did, and we became best friends. We hung out together until she and Carl got married. ( I always thought he.looked like Elvis Presley).
I I and Carl's friend, Wesley French, stood up for them at their wedding 60+ YEARS ago.
I hope to see her again one day when i.also pass through those.heavenly gates on the arm of Jesus.
