Remembering our beloved Beverley (bjohnsonwong)

Beverley. Most kind, wonderful person, friend, mentor, so passionate about Viki, Viki community, Viki volunteers, and NSSA segmenting academy. The Viki volunteer segmenters salute your work. You generously shared the skills and knowledge which inspired Viki volunteers in our segmenting journey. We can think of those moments when BJW patiently took the time to guide us, addressed our concerns, encouraged and trusted the potentials of NSSA segmenting students to become Viki volunteers.

To our NSSA leader, sensei, péngyou (friend), from the many Viki volunteers you’ve empowered, we unite to say: We miss you, Beverley. RIP BJW. :sparkling_heart:

Love from NSSA Segmenting Team

“I Am Free” by Anne Lindgren Davison
Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of day
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch
If my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Lovely Beverley,
You were instrumental in teaching all of us segmenting. You were excellent in segmenting so many projects and being Chief Segmenter. You will live on in Viki in every show you contributed to for millions of viewers.

Most of all, you were a wonderful friend with such a sweet personality. I know you struggled the last few years with hospital visits, but each time you returned and helped us. You inspired me with your indomitable spirit.

I will always remember you for the tremendous person you are.

My dear Bev,

You were my friend, my mentor, and one of the kindest people I ever had the chance to know on Viki. You were the one who made me fall in love with segmenting and who always believed in me. You listened with such compassion and had a way of finding light, even in difficult moments.

I will miss you so much. I will miss the way you always showed up to support others and the way you cared about everyone around you so sincerely and generously. The world already feels sadder, and this community will never be the same without you in it.

Thank you for your friendship, for your patience and warmth, and for the example you set. I will carry what you taught me forward and remember you always.

:heart: You were deeply cherished and loved. Rest in peace, dear, lovely Bev. :heart:

Oh no! I’m deeply sorry and so shocked and saddened to hear that Beverly left us! My sincere condolences to her family!
She was the CS for my first channel ever more than 10 years ago and always so supportive. She helped me when I was in desperate need of a CS, cared so much about others and was such a kind and wonderful person. I will truly miss her!

May you rest in peace, Beverly! :heart:

My condolences to your beloved family, and all in this Viki fam who loved you. You’ve touched and helped so many here, and least of all, moi. You’ve worked so tirelessly for this labor of love, for the good of this Viki fam, and for the enjoyment of all drama+language lovers. Thank you for your awesome, amazing, and abundant love and support for all. I hope you, Bev, can find comfort and peace now.

Our beloved Sensei and friend… What a loss.
It was a pleasure to have you as my first CS and I was always happy and grateful when you agreed to help me out on my projects. And I think many other volunteers think so too.

Also thanks for being my NSSA Sensei, it was a pleasure.
Thanks for all your support and effort towards me / us.

My condolences to the family and her closest friends. RIP Beverly

Thank you, Beverley, for your time, your guidance, your trust, and for everything you built within this community. Your teaching lives on through our work, our rigor, and our team spirit.

We carry you in our memories and in what we do.
Rest in peace, Beverley. We miss you. :cry::dove:
