Beverly Houk was my great grandma. She was a super sweet lady but she was feisty when she wanted to be. She did crazy things for me now that I think back to it. For example, I hated the breading on chicken nuggets so when I would get them, she would peal off the breading of each chicken nugget, one by one. She was the best woman I've ever known and her passing is one of the worst thing that happened to me. Toward her last years, she started loosing her hearing and eye sight. If she couldn't hear you, she would ask you to speak up and when you did, she would get upset and tell you not to yell at her. She was amazing and crazy and loving and feisty all at once. I just wish I could have made her happier and prouder of me. If only I could go back in time. She thought we were related to John Hancock (A man with the biggest signature on the constitution of Independence.) She studied for years but she soon lost her eye sight and she wasn't ever able to find out if we were or not.Before she died, she asked me to keep studying. About a month after, I saw name when I was doing my research, I remembered it from another article about our family. When I looked back, it was the same person, she was my great grandmas grandma and she was also John Hancock's great great niece. I got so happy and I went home and told my grandpa and he told me grandma Bev would be proud of me. I miss her so much. She stood by my side after my dad died and she helped me through all my problems. She was amazing and I was her little pumpkin. I can't wait until we are reunited in Heaven because I want her back with me more than anything in the world. Today would have been her birthday, September 17th 2018. My little brother, Ben was born 4 days ago and tomorrow would have been his due date. Grandma Bev really wanted to meet him but she couldn't I just know she's looking down from Heaven smiling every time he opens his eyes.  She is up their dancing again with her husband and sitting with her sisters.
