JOHN 14: 1-4
1] "LET not your heart be troubled; you believe in God believe also in Me.
2] In my father's house are many mansions;If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,
3] And if I go and prepare a place for you I will "come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also
4] "And where i go you know,and the way you know.
Rest in Peace Aunt Bea

To My Family
Me & My brother can't be there to see our favorite great aunt take her journey home. I just want to let you know Bea, that we love you and will miss you even more. For as long as I can remember you have been there for me and my brother and you were one of the greatest caregivers for us. We could always guarantee to have a "ball at Bea's house". Boy, could you cook wing dings with the barbeque sauce on them. To my favorite cousins Davon, Kavon & Javon stay strong and always remember that we loved Aunt Bea but God loved her most.
Love Ky-Ky & Lil El

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me. We love you Bea!

Devon, Kavon and Baby:
"Though it hurts to lose a loved one, it is most painful to grieve for what you didn't get to enjoy with them. Rather, remember the blessings they left behind, with so many wonderful memories. Treasure their essence, for it is still here with you."
And to the rest of the family:
Time heals all wounds, you just have to be strong and wait a while. I'm sorry for your loss and pray you will all find peace in knowing she's free of all suffering.

God truly knows best, he makes no mistakes. Aunt Bea is truly looking down on us from heaven because God gave her a chance to get it right with him, everybody don't get the chance that Aunt Bea got so i thank God for his mercy. Aunt Bea is truly going to be missed because she was always there for us no matter what, even when we was wrong. I can't even describe the emptiness that i fell knowing that i don't have her with me. Aunt Bea i will see you again in heaven.
My God be with my family and comfort them.
