Bea was a wonderful person. Always vibrant, every cheery, happy to be. I met Bea through Saturday Writers. She visited me in April at my photography show on Main Street Books in St. Charles. I'll never forget the colorful caps she used to wear. She will be truly missed.

I didn't know Bea long, but it was clear to me that one didn't have to know her long to be moved by her genuine warmth. She had a quality that put people at ease and a way of connecting with others that made a lasting impression. May she live on in her writing as well as the good memories.

I was so sorry to hear of Bea's passing. I didn't know her well, but met her when she did an article for Patch.com on a Chicken Soup for the Soul book signing I participated in at Main Street Books in December, 2010. She did a great job, and I so enjoyed my chats with her. My thoughts and prayers are with Bea and her family.

Bea was an amazing woman and an inspiring writer who spread joy wherever she went. I will miss seeing her sweet smile and listening to the lovely stories she read from her memoir on Tuesday mornings at Coffee and Critique.

I knew Bernice as "Bea," a member of Saturday Writers and our Tuesday morning "Coffee & Critique" group. Although I didn't know Bea for the many years some of her other writer friends did, we were great pals. About a year ago she asked for my help to set up her writing blog, and we had a delightful time together that afternoon. I loved Bea's memoir chapters she read during our critique group, and she was always such a kind and fun person. I will miss her very much.
