As the traditional machinery advances ahead of Beverly's official one-week observation locked for Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the Green Flavour Events Centre in Community 9, Tema, the private family home has become an emotional epicentre for the creative arts fraternity.
A trembling hand over a blank page
Portia Asare, widely revered for her emotionally intense roles on screen, found herself living through a real-life tragedy that completely defied acting scripts.
Upon entering the inner courtyard, the sight of Beverly’s two young daughters and her frail, elderly mother, who is carrying the unimaginable trauma of losing her husband and two children to cancer, completely broke Portia's defences.
When she was subsequently guided to the memorial table to sign the official registry, the gravity of the moment took over. Holding the pen over the blank lines, Portia froze, her hands trembling as tears freely streamed down her face. For several agonising moments, she couldn't write a single syllable.
After pausing repeatedly to steady her breathing and wipe her face, she finally forced herself to pen a deeply moving, affectionate tribute celebrating Beverly’s vibrant life, her uncompromising creative impact, and the permanent legacy she leaves behind in Ghanaian cinema.
The presence of Portia Asare adds to a long list of premier A-listers, including Jackie Appiah, Kafui Danku, Prince David Osei, and John Dumelo, who have physically anchored themselves at the residence. The stars have formed a unified, protective shield around the grieving family, ensuring that the heavy flow of media and sympathisers is managed with the utmost respect and cultural dignity.
