Barbara and Buster,
Due to working I was not able to attend the visitation for Bea. I want you to know I appreciated her example very much. I had her as a Sunday School teacher about 55 years ago. I remember her having a party at her house for the class. Before we left she let each of us hold her fiddle and she helped us play Mary Had a Little Lamb. She was a fine christian woman. We should all be so good! Thinking of you, Elaine (Smith) Lovelady

Barbara,
Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your mother. I didn't know her well, but met her at a few family reunions back in the day. I know she'll be missed..

My deepest sympathizes to all of Bea's family. She was a first cousin to my Dad, Flavil Montgomery. I never got to know her well as Dad moved us to MI. I did meet her several years ago at Aunt Geogie's and loved her positive and graceful attitude. I wish I could have known her better as she was a delight to meet then. She was a great example for GOD and family. May GOD bless you all in dealing with your loss and may Memories comfort you now and always.

Bob and I were managers of Apple Blossom while Bea was there. We truly loved to listen to her play and enjoyed her beautiful attitude. God bless each and everyone of you for blessing us.
