                        Friday, January 25, 2013

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to a 
dear friend of mine, Beverly Jean Bloch. Beverly passed away on 
Wednesday, January 16, 2013. A resident of Corona for over a decade, 
she was a pillar of the community and will be deeply missed.
  Beverly was born November 9, 1952 in Meeker, Colorado, the daughter 
of Calvin and Arlene (Gulliford) Fritzlan. Beverly grew up on a cattle 
and guest ranch, where her work ethic and values were formed. She 
attended school in Meeker and graduated with highest honors from Meeker 
High School in 1971. Beverly received an Associate's Degree at Seward 
Community College and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business 
Administration and Accounting at Oklahoma State University. In 1995, 
Beverly earned a Juris Doctor degree from Southwestern University Law 
School in Los Angeles, California and began practicing family law in 
Anaheim Hills. She opened her second law office in Corona in 2000.
  Beverly served on the Corona Regional Hospital Board of Directors, 
the Corona Library Foundation Board and was the Board President for the 
Corona YMCA. She was a member of the Norco Area Chamber of Commerce as 
well as the Corona Chamber of Commerce, where she served as Chairman of 
the Board of Directors in 2007. Beverly was a member of and served as 
Bequest and Living Trusts Chairman of the Southeast District 
California-Hawaii Elks Association, Corona 2045. She was a member of 
the Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles Counties Bar Associations as well 
as the California State Bar Association.
  It is hard to imagine that Beverly would have any free time on her 
hands, yet she always found time for her community. She was a member of 
the Corona Rotary Club, the Corona Women's Improvement Club, the Norco 
Horsemen Association and the Riverside/Corona Council of the Navy 
League, serving as the Vice Adjutant. She loved to travel and visited 
many countries all over the world, but she always said that the most 
beautiful place on earth was her family's home at Fritzlan's Guest 
Ranch in Northwest Colorado's White River Valley.
  Beverly is survived by her son Joseph Bloch; mother Arlene Fritzlan; 
sisters Mona (Al) Avey, Betsie (Leonard) Thompson, Jackie (Roger) 
Bissell and Sandie Fritzlan; granddaughters Anna and Madeline Bloch; 
friend Dean Herigstad; many nieces and nephews; and all of Meeker, 
Colorado. She was preceded in death by her father Calvin Fritzlan and 
nephew Gene Scritchfield.
  On Saturday, January 26, 2013, a memorial honoring Beverly's 
extraordinary life will be held. Beverly will always be remembered for 
her incredible work ethic, generosity, contributions to the community 
and love of family. Her dedication to her family, work, and community 
are a testament to a life lived well and a legacy that will continue. I 
extend my condolences to Beverly's family and friends. Although Beverly 
may be gone, the light and goodness she brought to the world remain and 
will never be forgotten.
