Over a decade has passed since Beverly's death...and even though I write, I find my own personal experiences the most difficult to write about. First of all, you have to define truth. What is truth? What I see as truth may not be so to someone else. Some call it opinion. I beg to differ. It is said there are two sides to every story. This is only the case if there are only 2 parties involved. With Beverly's murder, there are several parties involved as it affected many lives.
One of the main reasons I hesitated to write about this is, well, the truth hurts. I can say it's black, while someone else screams 'IT'S WHITE'. Some is a matter of opinion. I spoke with Billy last night about this and he even wondered why I never chose to write about this. I said, "Billy. I can't describe the event and leave it at that. I have to describe the people and circumstances, the family...and coming from my point of view...it ain't all pretty."
With that being said, this is the Batt Murder v.1.0, my recount of my relationship with Beverly Lavone Rose Batt and the events preceeding and after her death. What someone may say, "is black" is now my white. If they so choose to write their own account of this story, so be it. As for now, this begins my journey remembering not only her life, but the lives of those around her.
For Cheyenne, Carol and T.J. Batt, this is your family....the good, the bad and the ugly. For better and for worse. I want you to not only learn of the unique spirit your mother was, but I want each of you to know the people and events that shaped her life as well as your own.
I am glad someone wrote about all of this. I went to beauty college with Beverly. We spent a lot of time together and often kept each other’s children to give each other a break. Tye let me continue overnight visits often. David and I often visited Tye and the children. Beverly was a beautiful person inside and out. I hope and pray all 3 are doing well in life.
