I so regret never having met you.

You will not be forgotten.

Rest well Beverly Cleary.

I have the fondest memories reading the Ramona series.

That night Ramona sleeps in Beezus’s bed and they comfort each other.

It was such a real scene.

Sit here for the present.

Jumping through the hole in the house.

Squeezing out all the toothpaste.

The (not) hardboiled egg.

The pile of jiggly chicken skins.

Thank you, Beverly Cleary, for these and so much more.

You had a great long life, created fantastic characters, and never let us down!

RIP Beverly Cleary.

Millions of girls saw themselves in Ramona Quimby.

Thank you from all the pests out there.

A deeply felt thank you to a pillar of childrens literature and imagination.

Holding Beverly Clearys family and loved ones in my heart.
