I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Bea was such a sweetheart! I had the pleasure of Bea's friendship when I was the property manager of Woodland for 5 years. There wasn't a day that passed without Bea stopping in my office to drop off a few peices of candy. I remember the parties I would have for the residents and Bea teaching me how to line dance or singing karaoke with me. It was a great pleasure knowing Bea. I will always remember her.
My condolences at your time of sorrow.

Joan & Family,
Sorry to hear of Bea’s passing. I had the pleasure of her friendship when I was the manager of Woodland many years ago. Her and Irene made my day when they would stop at my office after they’re weekly shopping trips and let me know of there adventures. Both were always dressed like professional senior models. From their jackets to the jewels! They were something.
Think of the good memories at this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
Please extend my condolences to your entire family and Irene.
