Bev and I became good friends the first time I met her. She already had many friends in our freshman year of high school. Bev had a way of making everyone feel as if they knew her all of their life. You could tell she loved people, and they loved her right back. It was privileged to be her friend for life. Bev was not afraid to venture out and do new things. I was not as adventurous, but we were making more and more new friends! We started going to all the games and sitting together. I have written a poem in my latest published book, Winning the Race, about our adventures in the "Wolfpack".
Beverly wolf, our leader fair,
was a true friend, she was always there,
To give advice or to help when needed,
Together in a group, we always succeeded.
A bunch of fun loving, pretty, girls in high school,
Who were young and innocent and obeyed the rule.
Attending all games in Lucille's car,
We thought we were the best by far!
Our colors were yellow and green,
We painted them on our saddle shoes to be seen!
Meeting at the bowling alley or the Dairy for a shake,
Getting the boys attention, what an impression we'd make!
We were the good girls that didn't give ourselves away,
They all knew that on Sunday we went to church to Pray!
When it came time to pick a girl for a lifetime mate,
The boys all hoped that one of these would be his fate!
In loving memory,
Donna Jasper
