Dinner went well and they both agreed to pray for God's direction for their relationship. As time passed, a true friendship developed and Skip knew Beverly was the one! A few months into the relationship Skip traveled to Virginia to meet with Beverly's older brother and seek his approval to potentially marry Beverly--as both her parents were deceased.
