Miss Bea,
Words cannot begin to describe how shocked and saddened we were to hear of your passing. You were more than a friend to me, Robin and the boys....you were family. You always brought a smile to our faces whenever we we were together and to simply say.....we are going to miss you! You were one of a kind Miss Bea, a real firecracker! Thank you for being in our lives and being our friend.
I hope that your family finds peace and comfort during this sad time!
May you rest in peace my friend, and may the Lord always hold you close.

We love and miss you!

Bea was a wonderful friend and neighbor. We lived beneath her for a year or two about eight years ago. Whenever, we saw each other she would always chat and make me feel like a part of her family.

She loved her fury friends and B&B and her neighbors.

We will miss running into her at Friendly's and around town.

Whenever I pass Essex Street, I have and will always think happy thoughts of Bea.

May your happy memories bring comfort at this time.

Sherman Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I'll miss seeing Sis walking down Main St. and down Johnnies. She was great to me while I was growing up and I'll never forget how happy I was when she gave me my own bloodstone ring for my birthday years ago.
