Big hugs to the entire Anderson clan today. Bev was a true matriarch to this bunch. So proud of you all. And she always made me feel like there was room for one more. I got to work with Bev, watch KU games, softball games…lots of laughs. She was a wonderful lady. Left her mark on many. And I will forever envy her rings.
