I was so saddened and heartbroken to get a call from my sister informing me of Auntie Bea's passing. She was such a loving Aunt to our big family. I hold many special memories of holidays & cookouts as we were growing up.

May your memories, Uncle Paul and my cousins, of her immense love for her family comfort you as grieve.

I am saddened to hear about Auntie Bea. She was a very special lady! I have many fond memories of her "back in the day". Auntie Bea and My mom were so close, and would spend hours chatting and laughing...there was always laughter. My sympathies to you Uncle Paul and to my cousins.

Dear Paul, Children & Their Families,
Words cannot express how sad we all are at the loss of Bea. The first day we moved to Westwood in 1976 I took Ronnie & Kimberly for a walk up to the Downey School and this beautiful Mom turned around and said "Welcome" I'm Bea Guindon. From that day on I enjoyed being
her friend and we ladies in the neighborhood loved to go have tea together at Bea's house after school. Bea and I kept in touch every 2 or 3 weeks with our conversations always being about our children and grandchildren. Our last conversation was on September 17th and she was her usual happy self to be talking about her family. I will miss our telephone giggles. I am sure that Bea will be using her angel wings to watch over all of you. God bless you my friend. Love Gail Cahaly and Family

Bea was a wonderful neighbor & friend for many years that I lived
in Westwood. She had a great
since of humor & loved to laugh.
We had so many good times with
our children. She took care of my
oldest child Kelly when I had my
second daughter Kerry. Because
her children were older she was a
great help for me with advice in
bringing them up.
We had many cups of tea together.
She loved her family & was a good
friend to me and many on Smith Drive
in Westwood.

I am thankful for MereMere. Thankful that she raised a beautiful daughter(inside & out) that enriches my brother's life every day. A dedicated mother, daughter, sister, wife, aunt, friend-just like Bea. Thankful for her sons. Each unique, always respectful, caring, and handsome. Thankful for PerePere. The devotion for each other always evident & loving. Thankful for her grandchildren. No matter what conversation we had, it always turned into us both gloating about them. SO smart. SO funny. SO cute. The next president of the U.S.A., saving the earth, being rich--ALL of them. Thankful for her love of John & Amy. Together with her support they have made me an Auntie of Renai, Johnny, & Maverick--a role I cherish. Thankful for her appreciation of others. How special I felt when she sent ME flowers for taking a little extra care of her Amy when she didn't feel well. How equally impressed I was when she sent gorgeous Poinsiettas to all of her children's in-laws thanking them for THIER children. Thankful for her role as my insurance agent. She never said anything negative, even when I called for the hundredth time that --oops-- forget to mail the check and I got another cancellation notice. She'd always say--let me tell the big guy, he'll take care of it. And he always did. Thankful for her love of plants, animals, cooking and children.--Qualities I see continue every day in her children and grandchildren. Thankful for her wanting and seeing the best in all of us. God Bless You MereMere

I have been trying all morning to decide what I want to write but I can't come up with something clever. So I am just going to share what I feel in my heart. I have no words to express my sadness, Bea has been an important part of my life and heart ever since we met at NEL in maybe 1961. We both named our daughters with Little Women names, she was my maid of honor because she was my best friend. I have so many memories of her and how we could always laugh together no matter what adversity we were facing. We shared our joys and our sorrows. I know how much she loved her family-all of you. She talked about each and everyone of you and her pride in all of your accomplishments. You were special to her and she loved you each dearly. She was a special person and we have been fortunate to have her in our lives. Although we will miss her we will never be without her because of her love and our love for her. God Bless all of the Guindon family and may He give you comfort now.
