Bea was a beautiful, thoughtful, loving and energetic spirit who will be missed by many family and friends.
That says it all so well! Aunt Berniece was one of the best birthday card senders! She must have had a card going out to someone somewhere daily! She always loved to hear the stories of all the cute, funny things kids have done or said and then she made others smile as she giggled while sharing those stories. She was so kind and gentle. She was so vibrant and lived her life to the fullest surrounded by family and friends. She knew what was really important in this life - fellowship with those we love. She will truly be missed and purple will have a special meaning for many of us!
Love, Lorrie, Mario, Jaclyn, Daniel, Andi, and Michael Suffi
