Not sure what to say?

To the family, I am very sorry for your loss. To Joel especially I hadn't heard of your mother's passing. You may remember the small group of children who took dance lessons from Bea at her studio in South San Francisco. I was one of them.

Your Mom's influence on young dancers and athletes was profound. This is where I learned composure, dance technique and the love of group, partner, and solo dance. I also learned to love sunny Marin County!

Sending very good thoughts...

Bea was quite a lady and I am grateful to have known her. My daughter Tracey was one of Bea's Knees and learned life lessons from Bea that she will have forever. We are so happy that Tracey was visiting from Oregon and was able to see Bea before she passed.

So sad to learn of Bea's passing, like many others she was a huge influence not only in my life but in how i look at entertainment....not a day goes by that I don't think of all those hours spent trying to live up to her expectations of us all......david silverman

To the Blum boys,

Your mom was quite a lady and I am so sorry for your loss. I spent many hours at the Log Cabin in San Anselmo as a little girl tapping away with the encouragement and patience of Bea. She made sure we all felt like stars, whether we had any real talent or not. The memories of our performances, hours of joy filled lessons, wonderful music and a loving soul to guide us, will live in my heart forever. Thank you for sharing your mom with me.

May beautiful memories...
