My condolences. May you find comfort knowing that God is near you and is a refuge during this difficult time.
Psalms 9:9

Emily and Jim were cute newlyweds when I would come to their house after school for private cello lessons. Years later I babysat every week for Nancy and David while Jim and Em went to Cascade Symphony practice. They were great friends and dear people. We all have lost them for now, but will find them playing Heavenly tunes later.

Mr. Bean fixed my broken school cello more than once, even though Mrs. Bean was our teacher at Maple Park Elementary. I appreciated the start that that free cello gave me (sorry I broke it...). Hello to Nancy who was in Orchestra with us in Junior High. Your family is very much appreciated.


To the Bean family, I'm very sorry for your loss. Mr. Bean was my violin teacher for many years, and I learned so much from him.

David, The memories of your lifetime with your father will always sustain you. He was someone I enjoyed knowing even though it was brief. I am sorry for your loss. JoAnn

I'm very sorry for the loss of Mr. Bean. As you reflect on the memories, may God grant you strength to endure. Phillipians 4:13
