In 2 days it will be the 1 year anniversary of Bee's death. Please all of his family, friends and fans please join me and my family lighting a candle and having a minute of silence and prayer for the freatest bass player ever. R>I>P> Bee...sadly missed and never forgotten...is just not the same at concerts, you not being on that stage.....Cathy Schwartz Stevens Point, WI(saw willie and family every year since 1985)

I just recently found out that Bee is gone. I knew him and his family when I was growing up in San Antonio. We both went to John Marshall high school. I play the fiddle and I had the chance to play with his Dad when they lived in Helotes. I wish I could make contact with his family. I have been way for awhile and did not find out until yesterday about his passing. I will miss him. RIP

To Mrs. Spears and the whole family,

I will pray for you all because I know what it feels like to lose someone that you desperately love. Bee was such a kind, generous man. And he is gone way too young, He was talented and athletic, handsome and decent. I thought he was special and he made me think differently about musicians when I met him the first time at a concert. I met you too Mrs. Spears - you are very pretty and such a sweet person. I met you when I just turned 18 and so I...

To the entire Spears family and Willie Nelson; My thoughts and prayers are with you and pray that God will comfort you during this sad time. I thought alot of Bee and am saddened to hear that he has left us.

So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you, Billy and Anna Reimer and daughter Kathleen Reimer, (HELOTES, Texas)

My deepest sympathies to the Spears (and Nelson) families, especially sweet Julia. May God hold you in the palms of His hands and bring you peace and comfort during this very difficult time.

Grief can be so hard during the holidays, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one this holiday season.

To Fred and Linda and the entire extended family of Bee.. I remember the fun high school days with Bee drumming around on his guitar, then hanging around Floore's store. We were all so excited for him as he got better and better and ended up with Willie. But besides that he was just a great, kind, funny and awesome friend who was always there when you needed him. Helotes loves him!

Oh Bee Man, catch a big one. I hear the fishing is great where you are.
Love, Lana
