Robert and Norma Bean

Dear Family,
Although you may not really know me, we are cousins. My dad, Clarence Bean Jr. is your dads cousin. We moved away from Michigan when I was in the second grade, 1979 and moved to Oregon. I do remember bobby a little though and his laugh. I am so sorry to hear about this horrible event, and I just wanted to let you all know that I am thinking about you and myself and my family want to express your deepest sympathy to you. I am not sure if you possibly remember my mom, Judy...

Words have no meaning for a tragedy like this. All we can do is keep them in our prayers and our hearts and they will be with us forever.

Tammy, Tim, Theresa, and family,

Remember Dad's beautiful laugh, Mom's beautiful smile, and caring hugs-these will help you through. I know firsthand the why's, when someone dies suddenly and senselessly, and the possibilitiy that all your questions may never be answered. Each day gets a tiny bit easier, but they are always in our hearts. God Bless you all for your strength!

Dear Friends and Family of Mr. and Mrs. Bean;
My family was deeply saddened to read the news of your recent loss. We want you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Please accept our sincere condolences at this time of need. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Bean as being wonderful people, they will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Brandie and Lee (Cooper) Sapsin and Patricia Cooper

Dear Bean family:
"Well done my good and faithful servants" were the words these two wonderful people heard when they both together entered the gates of heaven. I met Mr. and Mrs. Bean at the dedication of the Refuge Chapel in Grand Rapids and Mr. Bean told me if i ever needed a job come and see him, well now i will wait to see him at our Heavenly Fathers home. God is faithful to give you comfort and peace.
With God all things are possible.

Dear Bean Family:
On behalf of my sister and brother in law who worked for Mr. & Mrs. Bean for 17 years I would like to express our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved ones. It is such a loss and one that will be felt greatly by all. May the Lord Bless You and Keep You and help you through the difficult days ahead.

My family did business with the Bean family for approximately 20 years. I was fortunate to know them for a short time, but my father considered them among his best customers'. Our prayers are with the family and the employees.

Tammy, Teresa, Tim and Family,

I am SO sorry to hear about your loss. It is completely shocking! I'm sure words cannot begin to express your sorrow. But, please know that I am praying for you all to experience the peace that our God can give.

As you and your parents know, Christ was...

To the Bean Family,
We are sorry to hear about Bob and Norma. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you through this terrible time of greif. May God bless you all.
