Susan, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was wonderful to me during high school and when we were at U of A. She was also the person who helped me (and then my husband) to buy a house. She was generous and understanding during those very stressful purchases.

Dear Sorrell, Susan, Mark and family...

Words will never express how deeply sad we are to lose our dear friend, Bea. We spent 4 hours a day for 10 years together sharing many stories. I had so much fun hunting for little 'finds' for her...artsy puzzles, clothes, kitchen tools, and chatchkas! I especially enjoyed hearing about all of the travels and trips...the ones that were - and the ones she was planning with Sorrell. Bea loved her friends so much! She considered many of her friends as family. She loved her breakfast club, involvement in her book club, Historical Society, reading her many cook books, doing her cross word puzzles, and always 'being there' for friends and family. She was so proud of you...you all brought her so much joy! Bea was a special light in everyone's life that she touched, and she will be terribly missed.
