Alice & Cullen,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, and sorry that we were not able to get up there to see you. The crazy times we had with your family every Saturday night when we were kids will never be forgotten (canasta, Gunsmoke, my Mary Poppins adventure). Your mom was a very special lady.

Our prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time. Bea was an amazing spirit and we loved to hear the stories of the Lumpkin and Stitzer Rivah times. May God hold you in the palm of His hand as you grieve.

I was never able to meet Ms Lumpkin, but I was lucky enough to hear many stories. The loving stories that I heard were enough to show just how very special she was. Thinking of everyone in this time of loss.

Cullen and Alice, Your Mom was truly "one of a kind" and was so much fun. We all have fond memories of her at the rivah. I'll never forget all the Saturday morning herring breakfasts--definitely worth getting up early, even if I didn't like salt herring!!

In the Magnolia Dining room, she was known as "Momma B". She was such a wonderful resident. Everyone felt happy around her. She was loved by many!
God Bless
