Bea Bea always had a warm and welcoming smile for everyone. She has touched many.
My deepest sympathy to the family.
She was the friendliest person to all.
May She rest in peace ,Beatrice🙏🙏
I was saddened by the news of Bea Bea’s passing but grateful for the memories she has left me with! I will always remember our Halloween visits every year, the many conversations we had on her front porch. It always brought a smile to my face to see her Cowboy’s flag flying from the same porch as Anne’s Patriot flag. I can only think ahead – with this Angel in the end zone – the Cowboys can’t lose! Thinking of your whole family at this sad time!
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Bea Bea. We shared so many memories fun and laughter. I was so blessed to have her in my life. Not as a friend but a sister in my life. I adored so much and loved her with all my heart and soul. Bea Bea was always there for me no matter what. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. May you rest in peace now with all the Angels in Heaven. Fly high up there and party with Ed. Love to all the family. ❤️🙏🙏
