To Beulah's family, I am so sorry to hear of Beulah's passing. I knew her from Crosswinds Apartments. She was a wonderful, loving, kind, and sweet person and everyone who knew her loved her. I feel very blessed to have known her, even for the short time I lived at the apartments. She will be missed very much by all who knew her. May God bless and keep you in this sad time.
