Hello Mr. Hallmark. I am so very sorry for your loss. I just found out today of Beverly's passing. I was trying to find her on facebook, and came across her obituary. I met Beverly in 1980 when she and Sharon Cheshire were both students along with me at Texas Women's University. Then I met up with her at SAC. Please accept my condolences so long after her passing.

Hello Mr. Hallmark, My name is Tahnee Netro and I am a former HOSA student from MacArthur HS class of 1994. Ms. Hallmark of course was my HOSA Teacher. I just learned of her passing as I attempted to locate her to say hello and update her of my status. It has been 12 years since I last visit with Ms. Hallmark when she asked that I come and speak to her students as a graduate from UIW so to inspire and encourage them with the importance of education. Ms. Hallmark has left a tremendous gift and legacy to me as I am sure many others. You see, I was a student new to MacArthur High School with a passion to attend college but little direction. My home environment was not stable which in turn affected my academics and emotional stability. Through Ms. Hallmark's dedication, devotion, tough love, and guidance, gave me hope, a sense of belonging, and direction that would pave my future. She was a teacher who took to heart student's needs and the willingness to look after me when I needed it most. For that, I can honestly say she played such a significant role and contribution that would forever alter my course in life as I managed my way through high school. Aside from the influence on medical studies of what the HOSA program provided and Ms. Hallmarks daily devotion, paved my foundation blocks to attend college and find my way into education working with students with similar experiences and/or greater needs. I am currently a Junior High School Administrator working to encourage and motivate youth to see beyond their potential and inspire to leave a legacy that moves on as Ms. Beverly Hallmark did for me. I am forever thankful to her as that experience is forever embedded in my heart which allows me the opportunity to pass onto my students. My last visit was a blessing to share with her on the young adult I had become and to later know I was in her prayers. I recall these last three years, and time speeds faster than we imagine. I am sadden I didn't have another opportunity to share with her my latest accomplishments....and all because during that moment in time she helped them become possible. Somehow, now today, I feel she knows. Blessings to you and your family. I just wanted to share how special she was to me and her lasting legacy. Tahnee 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' Romans 8:28

As we are approaching the 1st anniversary of Bev's passing I offer thanks for many things. I am thankful for the time God gave us together, he alone fully knew our hearts and minds and granted us a quality of life and love that will be with me always. I am thankful for a large and loving christian family who loved her and respected her life's work in educating children. I am thankful for the friends who showed their affection for her in health and in sickness. I am especially thankful and grateful for all of the family and friends who came to our home, administered to Beverly and gave their most precious gifts, love and time, to spend many days and nights comforting and caring for us both through that most difficult time. I have been asked many times so I think it is appropriate to inform you that Beverly's wish to have her ashes spread in particular places was granted; in the Hallmark family plot near Buchannan Lake, her mother's plot in Pearland, Tx., MacArthur HS, and in memorable places along the coast. I couldn't have imagined how difficult letting her go would be, thank you to all who loved her so much and thank you for the love and support you have shown me over this past year, May God Bless You. We can rejoice that she is safe in God's care beyond pain and waiting for our eternal reunion. I would be grateful for the opportunity to send you a personal note of thanks or another one if you contact me at dhallmark@marion.txed.net, or by phone or mail as you prefer.

Having just discovered you are gone I never knew the affect it would have on me,considering everything that happened in the past. I am happy that you had such an impact on so many of your students lives and how your memory will live on with all those that you touched. I am also grateful that you found your soulmate and the happiness you so richly deserved,I take comfort in knowing that. I am also sorry I never got the chance to tell you what a remarkable person you were and apologize for past hurts. Julie.

Well Bev, it's been a little over 3 months, and in some ways it feels like forever, and in others, I still have to remember that I can't pick up the phone to talk to you. Next Friday I will walk across the stage at UTSA, and my thoughts will be of you and how much I wanted you to be there and how you said nothing would keep you away. My mom will have the picture of the 2 of us though, and I will remember our time together. Selfishly, I miss you, but how can I be sad when you've spent the last 3 months with Jesus happy and free of pain and suffering? Love you my friend....

To my dear friend Doug and the entire family, I am so so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen you in years, but my heart aches for all of you. Doug, you were the best VP I have had in 18 years of being in education, and your love and respect for Beverly was was a constant. 
Sincerely, Claudia Buech Price

Jenna - that is funny! I remember when I went to school with her one summer and we had to stop in the student bathroom so we could brush and floss! we had breakfast in the car on the way there. I also remember getting to wear Aunt Beverly's hand me down clothes . . . until I turned 13 and then I outgrew her. She taught me how to cook mexican casserole and to "clean up as you cooked." There are lots of little snippits of information that she gave me that made a lasting impression. Brad and I are very thankful for her and Uncle Doug in our lives. Growing up, whatever I was doing, I always had their tremendous support and love.

Aunt Beverly, 
I will truly miss you. Your strength of character and wisdom made you a great advisor to me. Thank you and love you. -J.B.

So blessed I was able to have you in my life Aunt Bev- Uncle Doug picked a good one! Thanks for making me brush my teeth all the time : 
Love you forever and always.

It is difficult, if not impossible to condense 40 years of friendship into mere sentences. The first time I met Bev, I was in 5th grade and a patrol officer. I took my duties very seriously. One morning,close to the start of the school year, I saw a tiny girl with long dark hair talking to other students but standing out of the 3rd grade line while waiting to go into the building. I told her that she needed to get into the 2nd grade line. She turned around, looked up at me and said "I AM in line," then turned back around. I don't remember how we found out that we lived close to each other, but we soon spent every afternoon together playing tennis, volleyball or football in the street. I remember the time that an old lady across the street yelled at us for getting into some bushes to find a tennis ball. It wasn't even her yard! We laughed about that! I remember curling Bev's long hair before a Ram's game and a few years later watching her twirl around the floor at Midnight Cowboy. She had a wicked sense of humor and a laugh that made you laugh right along with her. She always acted as though you were the person she'd waited all day to see or hear from. She was such a support for me as I go through school.Walking across the stage in May will be hard without her there. I only wish we could have had the years together as old ladies that we always talked about. But if she can't be here with all of us, then I'm glad she's waiting for me. I was so blessed to have her as my friend.

Ms. Boyd used to be my teacher at Lee H.S. She was always very helpful and concerned for all her students. She will be missed.

We will miss Beverly and wish we would have known about the memorial service so we could have attended. 
Kenneth Johanson

May god Bless you and be with you during this time.

Though I didn't know her well, I just want to convey my deepest sympathies for the loss of Beverly. May God strengthen the family!

I don't know if it counts if it is the same person more than once, but if Beverly wanted more memory tributes than Craig, I'm going to help her with that. The memorial service was lovely this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed Wendell's comments. So true..... It was great seeing old friends from MacArthur. I came home and posted to my Facebook page that even though I chose to leave the MAC family, I was very fortunate to have once been a part of it. I hope Bev would be pleased to know she brought us back together today.

Bev made me welcomed at Mac when I came several years ago. She love the students that she taught and they were like her children. She will be sorely missed.

To my Jeopardy buddy, you will be missed.

Beverly was a dedicated teacher and mentor for her entire career. She used her tremendous energy and passion for teaching to guide the students of Health Science toward their lifelong goals. We miss you, Bev.

Beverly was a kind, gentle, and beautiful Christian lady. We are blessed that we got to know her for a short while. We know there are many wonderful memories to help you through these tough days. Our thoughts and prayers are with Doug and the rest of the family. 
With love, Joyce and Edward Young

It was my privelege to see this outanding young lady give back the comunity from her high school school days as a District Lions Queen to her many years as leader of the largest, most Vibrant LEOS youthClub in the District. SHE will never be replaced.

It was an honor to know Beverly and work with her for nine years at MacArthur. She was an inspiration to students and her peers and was instrumental in positively influencing so many young lives. She was always in my thought and prayers. Go with God.

I will truly miss my friend, HOSA roomie,fellow educator, and soul sister. We laughed together, and made so many wonderful memories. Bev had such a zest for life, a passion for teaching and taught me so many organizational methods. I am sad that this last year I was not there for Bev as a friend should have been, but my 87 year old daddy became ill and died, and it really took a toll on me. Even now,death takes me away from Bev, as I am in New Mexico helping my daughtger cope with the death of her father-in-law so, I will miss celebrating Bevs beautiful life. I have never stopped praying for Bev and it will not stop now. I love you Bev and will truly miss you. Thanks for the memories. Love Nurse Gale

A real Lady who shall continue to inspire our mind, and soul in the efforts of human kind.

I know Beverly through our association in HOSA. She became a very good friend, not seen too often but always thought of, especially the last year. She made the effort to keep in touch and I cherish the pleasure she has brought to my life. My condolences to her family some of which I have seen in years past at Loma Linda.

DOUG, WE ARE SORRY WE DIDN'T GET TO MEET YOUR WIFE BUT KNOW YOU MUST HAVE 
CARED FOR HER VERY MUCH. WE MISS THE WHOLE HALLMARK FAMILY. 
LOVE 
THE WILLARD'S

We were heart broken to hear of Beverly's passing. We are somewhat comforted knowing how much she and Doug enjoyed there trip to the mountains this past summer. Our little cabin is truly blessed by their stay. Here, her energy, love and memory lives on. 
With much love, Jerry and Shirley Baugh

Beverly--such a remarkable individual! So kind, so caring, so strong--My thoughts and prayers are with your loving family as you watch us from heaven. In Him, Susan Hopper Harrison

Beverly was a very special person who was loved by all who knew her. It was my pleasure to know Beverly for such a short time at Johnson High School. I am a better person for knowing her. Love to her family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Beverly when she attended San Antonio College and then again we met up when we worked together at the UT Health Science Center. Beverly always had a smile on her face and never let anything or anyone get in her way of helping others. I never saw her have a bad day, she would always see the positive in everything! I know she will be our guardian angel looking down on us and helping us get through each day! Bless you Beverly and may you be at peace with no more pain and suffering. Love ya girl! Ruthie Morrow Stratton

You Will Be Missed Bev Hallamrk

I worked with Beverly at MacArthur for nine years and continued a correspondence with her after I left. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with her. I was so sorry to read of her passing. It seems like only yesterday we were losing Craig. I feel very blessed to have crossed paths with the Hallmark family. Beverly will be greatly missed.

For Mrs. Hallmark's loved ones: She was a great role model for all young people and especially for young women. It was a privilege and an honor to have been under her leadership at Mac through the Leo Club and Shattered Dreams 2006. The last time I spoke to her was when Craig died and she was in treatment for her cancer. Plus, just last weekend I was going through some of my old emails when I came across a couple from her. I will miss the awareness of knowing that she is just an email or phone call away. Yet, I know she is with us always. My thoughts and prayers are for each of you during this time as you celebrate her life and the contribution she made to all who knew her and loved her. Sincerely,

Mrs. Beverly Hallmark dedicated her life, hard work and time to her students. She loved and cared for each one and wanted to help lead them and guide them in the right direction. She always went above and beyond for us to succeed in life with our best interest at heart. It is hard to describe in words how much courage and faith she had in each one of students and how she made each of their life better in a different way. She was a teacher that many do not get the chance to have. She was strict and had rules, but only to better you and prepare you for college and the future. Mrs. Hallmark was my co-op teacher for my senior year 2007-2008 at MacArthur High School, she helped me and four other students in the class get a job at Methodist Hospital in the Children?s ER and I am blessed and thankful to say that because of Mrs. Hallmark I still have this job. I pray and hope that each and every one of her students strive for the best education and career field in life, because it?s what she would?ve wanted for us! She will always be loved, missed and remembered. My prayers go out to her family, friends, students and loved ones.

I would like to say to thank you to Mrs. Hallmark for her help in my education of Medical Terminology. She was always very open to any thing I needed to get my assignments completed, as I am in a wheelchair and have trouble writing. Mrs. Hallmark always had a smile even on her worst days, and chose to be positive about her situation, and that is something I admire. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you.

Mrs.Hallmark, thank you for being such a lovely person and also for being a shining star my first year of teaching at MacArthur. You were a wonderful person to talk with and also made me laugh with some great jokes. Thank you for helping me when my grandmother was ill and I didn't know who to call or what to do. Mrs. Hallmark, you will be missed by not only me but also by all of the students whose lives you touched. All of my prayers are with your family.

To Mrs. Hallmarks Family, 
I am a graduate from MacArthur HS Class of 2008 and I was fortunate enough to have her as my co-op instructor. She was tough at times, but she is the only one that I can thank for where I am today in life. I am probably more successful at this time than most of my peers, and without her I would probably have a completely different story. I never really had the chance to tell her how much i appreciate all the work and effort she put into my education and future. But I would like to today. Thank you Mrs. Hallmark for all the wonderful things you did for me as a student, thank you for all the times you went above and beyond just to better me. You will truly be missed. Deepest Love, 
April K. Trevino

Ms.Hallmark,

 love, Whitney Giles

Beverly will be greatly missed. She was a bright light to all that knew her. Her interest & efforts with the Oak Hills Lions & and The MacArthur Leos will be remembered for a long time.

What a privilege to have known such a warm, caring and remarkable individual. There would be no way to count or measure the impact that she had on so many students over the years. I have always admired Beverly for the time, effort and work that she dedicated to HOSA and Area 1. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I met Beverly while I was Leo advisor for the Pleasanton Leo club. I am saddened to hear of her passing. Her spirit was infectious and I cannot imagine the number of young people that have been motivated to a life of service because of her influence. She truly has the "Heart of a Lion". God Bless Your Family

I didn't know Beverly personally, but growing up I heard a lot about her from Paige. I am truly sorry for your loss, May God grant you the peace you need at this hard time to get through this. God Bless your whole family.

Beverly was a delightful lady and I will sorely miss her. She was never without a smile or a good word. Although it grieves us to lose such a wonderful individual, we must remember that she is now free from pain and beginning a wonderful journey with the Lord. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Beverly's family members and friends.

Beverly meant a lot to myself and my son Matthew, who had her for 2 years in the HOSA program. She encouraged him to be his best and the job the he got when he was in her class, he kept, even when he began college.

Beverly was such a dedicated teacher. I worked with her many times through the years at HOSA conferences. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Bev and I went to school together from Oak Hills Terrace Elementary through Marshall High School. We grew up together, playing at each other's house after school to Dance team and J-club. We had lots of laughs together. I am so sorry we never meet back up. I found out about her passing through the school and discovered my daughter was a freshman in her health class at Johnson HS this fall and made the connection. 
My heart is heavy that we did not reunite once more. Love to all her family. I will miss her endearing smile!

Please accept my deepest sympaty for 
your loss. I worked with Beverly 
placing many students at the Eckerd 
drugs next to Macarthur high school. 
She was great and really cared about 
her students.

It was always a pleasure to work with Beverly. She was always fair, dependable and willing to go the extra mile. Hugs & prayers to her family during this difficult time.

We are saddened to read of Beverly's passing. It had been a joy and privilege to be her eye doctor for many years. May God's special comfort and grace be with you all.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Beverly's family and friends.

Beverly?s Leadership Traits 
According to the Apostle Paul 
Integrity 2:2-6 
Gentleness 2:6-7 
Loving Concern 2:8 
Hard Work 2:9 
Persistent Faithfulness 2:10-12 Beverly was the epitome of integrity, gentleness, loving concern for all students and colleagues, alike. She had a tremendous work ethic and was persistently faithful to her task, her family and her profession. Beverly was the standard by which we all, as educators, should be measured. She will be missed!

Mrs. Hallmark was one of the best teachers, she never gave up on any of her students and always strived for us to have the best. She was always there for me and helped me achieve my goals in the health field, there is no one that i would appreciate more than her. Mrs. Hallmark was an amazing person and will be remembered that way. 
 I wish nothing but the best for the family, and give you my sympathy.

I remember the beautiful wedding where my cousin Doug married his beautiful tiny wife, Beverly. Doug was glowing as much as his bride! Beverly obviously has touched so many lives with her spirit and love. I am so thankful for the light and joy she added to Doug's life and to all the Hallmark family. Doug, I know you will miss Beverly so very much. Our love and prayers surround you!

To my beloved friend Beverly, I will miss you. You were so brave these last 18 months, and I so admired you for that. I know you are in a better place and out of pain. God needed another angel and he sent for you. Rest in peace my friend.

Best wishes to all the family. Can't even begin to know the pain it must be to lose a loved one... God bless///

I am the second cousin of Douglas Hallmark the loving husband of Beverly Ann Boyd Hallmark. Doug's dad Hurston Hallmark is my first cousin although Doug and I are almost the same age. Doug remained single for a long time but when he finally chose his mate for life he could not have made a better choice than Beverly.From the time Doug met Beverly you could see a terrific change in him for the better! He was always a great guy but being engaged and married to Beverly seemed to calm down my cousin's daredevil way of looking at the world because she brought a soothing presence into his life and became his reason for living. Beverly came into the family with her warm personality and calm demeanor and for some reason just fit right into a rather roudy family. She made Doug and Doug made Beverly. They were best friends,as well as husband and wife, and it showed whenever anyone saw them. They were extremely happy together and so much in love! Beverly and Doug together fought a disease with everything they had and they beat it much longer than her doctors thought they could. Two days before the Christmas holidays broke she was still in her classroom teaching and that in itself says alot about Beverly and her dedication to her work. When I think of Beverly the one word that stays in my mind is "lady" because she was everything that word stands for and more. She has now gone to a place where there is no sorrow and no more pain and I want to share a thought with Doug and the rest of the family at this time to serve as the ending to this memorial to a lady whose dedication to helping children will live on in those children she touched as well as through her family for ever more. 
Doug when I think of God and his power and might and the fact that he created so many beautiful things here on earth for us to look out and enjoy I envision a very caring and loving God that appreciates beautiful things around him. He decided it was time he had another beautiful creation around him and he looked down from heaven on high and picked the beautiful flower we all knew as Beverly Ann Boyd Hallmark!

To My Beloved Friend Beverly. I will miss you but I know I will see you again. You are an Angel in Heaven watching over us. 
Love, 
Rose Ann

I don?t think there are enough words to express how much my daughter, Valorie, and I will miss Mrs. Hallmark. She was an inspiration to both of us. Valorie was in her Health Science Tech Program during her senior year 2003/2004. She was new to MacArthur HS and Mrs. Hallmark enthusiastically welcomed her into the program. Mrs. Hallmark set the bar high and held Valorie to the highest standards which led to an internship at the Methodist Children?s ER where she still works today and currently is attending nursing school. Valorie had not even considered a career in the health field before meeting this incredible woman. I had the privilege of volunteering for Mrs. Hallmark and going to a competition in Houston with her for a long weekend and was able to see her in action, inspiring and motivating her students. She was a mover and a shaker and knew how to get the most out her students. This morning, after finding out of her passing, Valorie told me that the only teacher that made a difference in her life by having extremely high expectations and leading by example was ?her? Mrs. Hallmark. Her memory will live on in the hearts and minds of the thousands of young people and adults that she inspired! Our deepest sympathy to Mr. Hallmark and to all of her family and friends. Our love and prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences to Doug, Mrs. Boyd and the rest of her family and friends. I will always cherish the great times Bev and I had together. I will miss her loving and caring friendship. I am so grateful she is no longer in pain. My family and I will always love you Bev.

Beverly will be sadly missed by all the Area 1 Health Science Technology teachers.

My little sister - thank you for the time we spent together and being the little sister I never had. You gave my brother, Doug, so much and I will miss you very much. I am glad there is no more pain in your life and that you will be welcomed by my mother, my father, my step mother, my brother, Craig, and others. You will always be remembered as you were to me, my little sis. love, Tama

This is the first of a number of times I will leave you messages, profess my love, and add to my memory of you. We found each other late in life and now it seems that we had only a short time together. We knew how different we were and more importantly we knew how much more powerful our love was. It is beyond me to imagine life without you. I do not question the test HE gave us both throughout this disease that took you, but there won't be a day that goes by that I don't wonder why you instead of me. Rest easy, my love, welcomed by those who have gone on before us. Lay blessed in HIS arms until we are joined again, without pain, without sorrow, together forever. all my love, dkh I hope to have an opportunity to express my deep appreciation to the many, many people who helped Beverly through her cancer. Your love and affection were and are truly overwhelming, we are blessed beyond words. God bless you. dkh
