I am very saddened to hear this news, and like most of you, very surprised. I met Beverly Lynn mainly through these boards, and a few times while at Disney. She loved the DIS and the group of friends she had met here. She was a kind and giving person, who had no reason to be, as her life never seemed easy. I, like many of you, witnessed and was the recipient of her many kind acts. One of which is very dear to me and I would like to share with you.

Many of you who know me know that I lost my sister to breast cancer 2 years ago. My interest in pin collecting came from my sister, Karen. My sister fought a long tough battle with breast cancer for 2 years. Beverly Lynn was very supportive of me and what I was dealing with. Very unusual for someone who lived so far away from me, and to be honest whose only common interest with me was Disney.

While she and some of her CCSS friends were at Disney one week, Beverly wanted to do something for my sister. She was talking to a cast member in the UK pavilion, and somehow told her about my sister and her situation. Long story short (and some of you CCSS ladies maybe able to fill in this part of the story) this cast member put together a Gund bear with pins from all over epcot and sent it to BL’s room. When Beverly Lynn returned home she sent it to my sister. When it arrived, my sister was comatose, in the last stages of her death. I remember telling her about the bear, and showing it to her, describing to her each pin and where the bear came from and all of that. It was such a beautiful gesture, and brought me much comfort to describe it to my sister. I have saved the bear so that her two young boys can know the story of how a stranger sent this bear to their mother out of kindness.

I will always remember how Beverly Lynn took the time to send that bear, when she had so much she was dealing with in her own life. I am sorry that I did not have the chance to speak with her in the past few months. She was a very special person and touched many of us in many ways.

These are some pictures that she asked me to host for her, and there are some I have added as they remind me of her

You will be missed Beverly Lynn!!

Michael

I learned tonight of the death of my friend Beverly Lynn. At the request of friends, I will share here on this tribute thread what I shared with Dan, and others, in private.

Beverly Lynn was a woman who made an impact with her humor, her honesty, and sometimes even her temper. As strong-willed as she could be, she was most certainly a woman that we all loved. She was not shy to tell anyone how she felt about them, and that is something that can be difficult for people but I admired her emotional honesty...

Beverly Lynn was a woman of wit and emotional honesty. She was not a superficial person - her feelings ran deep and at the same time they were always at the surface. A hug and a smile from her meant something. I never knew what it was like to be on her bad side, but I remember well what it meant to be her pal.

I don't go to the DIS anymore for any reason, just too painful, and going there to learn about the death of a friend who used to make time to come visit me in my quiet corner of the Internet... a woman whose hugs and smiles I remember well... well, it brings back a flood of memories, most of which are very good.

I am very sad tonight. I was looking forward to seeing her again very soon.

{{{HUGS}}} Michael I was very worried about you!!


teri that was so so touching and so true! I was never on Beverly's bad side too but even those that she didn't get along with she always handled that anger with humor...or those differences with humor. She was never hateful just funny. I've said it a zillion times but goodness how I miss her already.

Michael that picture of Aryn is gorgeous, I hope you don't mind that I "stole" it from you and plan to put pictures of them both on my desk.

Thanks so much Dan. I'm so lucky I got to meet Beverly Lynn and Aryn, and to keep in touch with her.

 

[janette]

Michael - I remember the bear well, Beverly was so excited to be able to do that for your sister. I posted about it on one of the other threads about her going to pick it up from the CM's at the UK and after making a stop at Guest Services to complete paper work giving the CM's recognition for their assistance. She was a wonderful person.

 

[RhondaS]

Oh my, this is so incredibly sad. Another beautiful little girl, whose mother was convinced that she hung the moon, will now have to continue her life without that special love.

May precious little Aryn always know how much her mother loved her.

To Eileen and all of Beverly Lynn's friends, I'm so sorry for your loss. {{{hugs}}}

 

[Dan Murphy]

Lots of wonderful, loving memories here of Beverly, interesting to read some of them. I recall well the teddy bear saga also, Michael, a poignant one indeed, and quite retrospective of Beverly's ways.

Please try and have a good thought today for all of Beverly's family, her DD, Aryn, mom Julie, and everyone. Maybe a prayer and good thought for our DIS buddies Eileen (Leota) and Sandi (Ranatra). Services should already have started at this morning time.

Here are two guest books for adding a thought for Beverly's family if you'd wish to. And thanks for all the wonderful memories, of how we remember Beverly Lynn.

Legacy and/or Tribute

What a great tribute to Beverly. So nice of you Dan to gather all these great pictures of her being so happy. I only met her once and what a great person she was. My thoughts and prayers go out to her daughter and her family.

Dan,

What a wonderful tribute to Beverly-Lynn, she will be missed, but never forgotten.

 

[JAP]

Thank you for the beautiful tribute Dan. I am sorry for everyone's loss.

 

[charlie,nj]

nice tribute Dan......

 

[UncleKyle]

Thanks so much for the pictures Dan. I remember Aryn and Beverly well. What a sad day.

 

[Teejay32]

I have a lot of random memories of Beverly which I've been sifting through the past day or so, from our trip or from just hanging out online. I think of Polish traditions and marshmallow peeps, pin trading and little princesses with curly hair, joyful celebrating and painful discussions, and getting thoroughly chewed out by her 'for my own good'. Several times. I can't pick just one thing that defines her for me.

I think of BL and smile. When I'm 70, if I last that long, I'll think of BL and smile.

Thanks Dan, for this thread.

 

[SideshowBob]

Way, way sad news....

I had a message from Leota, and somehow feared that this was the reason...

Beautiful post Dan, and I remembered that picture from Kimono's and was going to try to find it... and there you had it.

Beverly Lynn was certainly a spunky, spirited person. We clashed a bit during early days of "SwanDolphin", but then later became really good friends... was just reading through a slew of emails that I had from her in folders.... and laughed, and smiled about all that she wrote, and all the joy that she brought to life.

Godspeed, Beverly Lynn. We shall all miss, and always remember you.

I'm an old DIS veteran and haven't posted here for ages and ages.

I received an email from Dan last night letting me know that we lost Beverly Lynn. How sad.

I'll post some of the email, as I think it covers my thoughts:

Thanks so much for emailing me and letting me know about Beverly Lynn. What a shock. Thanks for the link to the post, a very nice tribute. I do remember Beverly Lynn, I enjoyed chatting with her. I believe we went toe to toe on a couple of topics on the debate board too! But I remember laughing out loud at some of the things she 'said' about her in-laws and family. She was hilarious.

I also remember having the good fortune of meeting her and other DISers at WDW. Thanks for posting those pics and the stroll down memory lane.

I also remember she always had a picture of her daughter in her signature. I remember because the kid was too cute for words. Little angel. She is in my thoughts today. Love and Peace to her and Beverly Lynns family.
