Beverly J. Cook, nee Neal

My deepest sympathy to the Neal and Cook families .... I am a member of Ascension Lutheran Church in Riverside. Our family and the Neal family were very active in the church at about the same time. I remember Beverly. A wonderful family. I’m sure Bev is active in heaven’s music program! Ruth Bernhardt

I'm so sorry to hear that Bev has left this earthly home. Bev and I grew up together, we shared so many good times, were active in the same church, confirmed together, sang in choirs together, shared date nights with our boyfriends, attended Valparaiso University and were sisters in the Gamma Phi sorority. She was a kind, loving, talented and intelligent friend and the world was a better place because of her. My prayers are for your comfort Don, Len, Jim and grandkids.

I have known my cousin Bev since I was a small child. Three of the "Neal cousins" were born in the same year: Bev, John and me. We had many events where the cousins would be together and play. It was a close-knit family when we were kids and we did all keep in touch later in life. Bev was a very talented, sensitive and caring person. My condolences to Len, Jim, Jenny and grandchildren.

I'm Jennifer Cook's mother. Iet Bev when Jenny and Jim married. She was a very sweet and loving woman, with such a warm and loving smile. We will all miss her, but we will always have a soft spot in our hearts for knowing her. God be with you Bev. Ronnie

I knew Bev because of her musical talent and abilities. I first met her in college at North Central College in Naperville, IL. She was marvelous pianist and we enjoyed playing four-hand piano duets together. I will remember her always in my heart. I am sure she is now playing "heavenly" music in Heaven. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to her family.

Bev was a superb piano teacher. She taught our son for many years and now he plays the organ at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Elmhurst. She had patience, humor and love for her students. Truly a gifted woman.

In my earlier comments, I should have mentioned that her devoted husband and my friend, Len Cook was always there for her in every way. My deepest sympathy to Len for his loss. I wish him well in the difficult time ahead.

As Beverly's brother, I knew her since she was born. We had a great childhood together with two wonderful parents. I was so proud of her piano playing talent. She was a sweet, warm and caring person. I know she was very proud of her son, Jim, his wife Jenny and her grandchildren David, Daniel and Mary Clare. We will all miss her very much. With love, Don.
