Dear Brently, Michael and Family
please accept our condolences on the death of your mother and we would like to send you this poem from
Mary & Magnus Idzikowski
togehter with our children Maria 16, Benedict 11, Anna 5, Raphael 3 and Thérèse 1:
When man goes to God
When a person goes to God, she doesn’t leave us.
From her whose life has been transformed, but not taken, remains love.
Everything else passes by.
Even faith and hope.
But love remains, true love, based in God.
God is so generous that he does not take away from us, what he himself had donated to us.
He gives it to us – but in a different form.
This person,
continues to be near to us –
now though with a love, that is not clouded anymore.
No, we haven’t lost our loved ones.
They have only gone, to live in another place.
They are living in the land of the Father, are in him.
Through him they can continue to be united with us and we with them:
in the mutual love which the gospel teaches us.

To Brently, Joe and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I spent a lot of time at the Hlay home between the ages of 11 to 18 and Beverly was like a second mom to me. Mr & Mrs Hlay not only welcomed me into their home they also took me along on vacations. Rest in peace Beverly. Javin, Gene & Girls

Joe it has been so long since we have spoken and my heart is broken having to write this note. I will always remember Bev’s beautiful smile and the times that the three of us had at the Villa Rose Restaurant . I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. My prayers are with you, Brently and your family.
