I am so sorry to learn of Bea passing. Even though we rarely spent time together, I felt a connection to her through her struggle with Cancer. I was born with Cancer and understand how horrible it can be. I even still have the stuffed dog that I named after her as a source of inspiration. I would like to write to Angeline, but I seem to have misplaced her address.

My Aunt Bea was my Mom's closest sister, in age and emotionally. Auntie Bea loved cats. As Mom said, she would travel around the world to cat-sit. And the cats knew she would do anything for them. Loving the little animals is a quality of an exceptional human being. She was also devoted to the church and to God. She couldn't make decisions, and had a wacky sense of humor. All of these lovely qualities both made her precious and drove Mom crazy . She suffered a lot and the end of her suffering makes her passing bearable. We miss her a lot.

May you be at peace Bea. I didn’t know you long but I will still miss our little chats when I saw you during my shifts at Ross Place

Beatrice passed shortly after her sister, Sister Betty Gropp. Fran Gropp, my cousin gave me the news about both. My husband and I, Celia and Fil
Roccamatisi send our condolences to their family and friends. My father was Lloyd Gropp who passed away in November, 1997. When my father was young, Lloyd had a relationship with both Betty and Beatrice. One noticed the closeness of Sister Betty and Beatrice. We always had the utmost respect for Sister Betty who dedicated her life as a Religious. One notes Beatrice had a very successful life. Wonderful they were able to be together at the end. Would you send me Sister Betty's obituary. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

I remember cousin Beatrice well. To my younger eyes she was such a successful career woman whom I admired. She was fun too. I last spoke with her three years ago when we were in Victoria. It was great to catch up. My condolences to her siblings and friends. Fran and family.
