We met Bea when we, she & Bill attended Hudson RCA in FL. Bea personified the godly, gracious woman described in Proverbs 31. Her voice was strong, but gentle as was her attitude. When we no longer saw each other in person she kept in touch so faithfully by phone calls & thoughtful letters. She was beautiful inside & out; her countenance & attire always attractive. She was dearly loved & will be deeply missed. She looked forward to being with Bill & he will be overjoyed to see her. My husband & I send our heartfelt sympathy to Bea's extended family.

Dear Barb and family,
I wish we would have been able to attend the visitation. I know your mother was ready to go to the Lord but I know it's hard to say a final goodbye! Take comfort in the joy you brought to your mom while she was here. She enjoyed every one of your phone calls and especially enjoyed when you visited. All those breakfasts when she could show you off to her friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Cindy and Roger
