I am so sorry that I just learned of Miss Beulah's passing today. I wanted to extend my condolences as I have many fond memories. She was quite a special lady who loved to share stories of the Fox Hill of her time. I most remember her sharing comparisons of other storms with Isabel and the special words and hug she gave Kayleigh after her confirmation. Heaven just received a very special angel.

Dear Raymond,
We will all miss Ms. Beulah greatly. The kids always enjoyed sitting with her and having a cookie while she discussed how life used to be in the good ole days. Farrah and I enjoyed bringing the babies over after they were born to watch her fall in love with each one.

Dear Ray Jr. and Bessie,
I have such fond memories of your mother/sister. She and I worked together at the Sheriff's Department - she actually trained me to take over when she retired. We had so many long talks and I'll cherish the stories she told me of her childhood and the love she had for her son, sister and family. She has and always will hold such a "special" place in my heart. I have moved to Mobile, AL, but did want to extend my sincere sympathy for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Ms. Beulah was a special lady. She loved to share her memories with the young and the old. Her family, church and friends were her treasures. We were privileged to have her as our neighbor for 25 years. She treated our children like grandchildren and always said, "come on in," when we knocked on her door. She will be missed here on earth but she is celebrating in heaven.
