It was only yesterday that we learned of Bea's passing and we have not stopped thinking about her since. Bea was one of the most kind and compasionate people I have ever met. She always had a friendly smile and kind words for anyone she met. We have so many fond memories of times spent with Bea, Mac and the Coleman family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time. We are so grateful to have had the chance to know Bea. With our deepest sympathy.

I was so sorry when I picked up the newspaper and seen Bea's obituary. It just made my heart ache. I worked with Bea for many years and she was a wonderful "cigarette partner". I know she will be missed by those that knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family whom I knew was her world. She just loved each and everyone of her granchildren so very much. May god bless you all. Love, Ellen Landry

(mammie) You are the best grand mother anyone can ever have and I thank you for making my life last so far with you holding me in your arms so tight. You have left me incomplete or without someone I love so much. I'm sure you are more safe not living down here with us but just know that Brett, Felisha, Dakota, me, and the rest of the family will ALWAYS love you and care for you even if your'e not here. In other words, what im trying to say is that no matter where you go, you will be in my heart at all times!Listen to me when I say, and probably what everyone else says, " we love you." The way you use to look at me straight in the eyes and say I love you, it cracked me up but now i know how emotionally touching that can be. When I first heard that you had cancer, I thought everything would be alright and we're all going to get through this as a team, together, united as one whole big family. What you did was great... You faught for you're loved ones. You wanted us to be safe. Once again I thank you for that. Life just isn't the same without you and that comes from my heart deeply. You filled my heart with happiness and joy but now whats in my heart is love and sorrow. But the things I cherrish the most that I have done was make you smile, laugh, look me in the eyes and make me smile back...It was all good times untill you did a good thing and let us go. Im not saying that it's a good thing to let us go, but you suffered the most and you deserve to be let free and live an afterlife. You where the greatest grandmother of all. You tought me so many things that im probably going to teach my children someday and it will be tought through the whole family. I could summarize alot more of my love for you but I will feel a lump in my throught and tears comming down my face, so here you go, I love you and I always will. thank you...
