Letter from Beverly Young
Beverly Young, the widow of former Florida congressmanBill Young, sent a message to formergovernorCharlie Crist telling him not to attend her late husband's funeral service on October 24, 2013.[1]
According to theTampa Bay Times, Mrs. Young wrote in the message: “This e-mail is to officially advise you that your presence at my husband’s memorial services will be unacceptable. I have watched over the years, as Bill had, your transparent attempts to manipulate the political arena. I don’t want my husband’s memorial service to be another opportunity for that and I will not tolerate anyone turning this into a platform for political gain. Please honor my family’s request.”[1]
Young sent a similar message to Justice as well as toJessica Ehrlich, both of whom previously ran against her late husband.[1]
