Dear David, Bob and Jack,

I am so sorry she is gone, but she will never be forgotten. I will never forget Bea's warmth, loving kindness and open way of being. I can't think of any couple that has been more of a model of decency and generosity for me than Bea and Jack. I am very grateful to have known her and to have been exposed to the very special atmosphere and embrace of the Atkins family.

Dearest Cousins,
I have the fondest memories of Bea. Always stylish, interested in the lives of all of us, and supportive of our various life paths. I felt lucky to live across the street from Aunt Sadie and Uncle Mac because it meant that we got to see her more than we might have otherwise...which was a treat for us as we were growing up. May her memory be for a blessing.

Dear David,

The too-few times I was in your Mom's company, she always seemed to sparkle!

Her love, captivating smile and rare spirit will endure for you and your family forever... what a blessing and an inspiration that must be.

All the Best,
Steve
