John.
I didn't know my Beauvais, but I have heard of you both all my life. My father was James S Randall and he spoke highly of you both. My Grandfather and Grandmother ,Fred and Mary Randall spoke of you both often as well. I am so sorry for your loss.

John,
I just learned of Beauvais's death and am so saddened. What fond memories I have of taking piano from your mom and the wonderful friendship my mother and daddy had with your parents. I even remember the recitals that your mother and my mother put on together - piano and reciting expression pieces.
Beauvais was truly a talented individual. It is nice to read such raving remarks about what a wonderful human being he became.
My very best to you.

To Beauvais' Family,
I just learned of the death of Beauvais and was so saddened by it. We were childhood friends, growing up in the same neighborhood. I took piano lessons from Nona for two years.. mainly so I could see Beauvais. Nona would close the living room blinds so he couldn't peep in and distract me. We were in the same class at Winona Park School,walking home together with the neighborhood kids. We lost touch after graduating from Decatur High, but I always thouoght of him as a very special person and friend. My prayers are with you.

Molly and John
I met Beauvais again at Coventry Place where my Mother lives. He helped me get treatment for a autonomic nervous disease that I had been trying to get treated for about 3 years. His letter was a great help to my Internist as she was trying to get me to Vanderbilt or Mayo Clinic. I am a member of DHS class of 1958 and enjoyed his piano many times. I will always have fond memories of him.

Molly and John,
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of Beauvais. He was one of my closest friends in high school, and his positive influence from that time remains with me to this day. DHS '57 has lost one of its finest.

To Beauvais'family:
Because my mother does not have a computer, I wanted to tell you what a joy Beauvais was to her these last two years. His music and wonderful conversations with my mom lit up her days as she is painfully unable to get about very well now. She would tell me about the discussions they would get in to and how much she enjoyed them. She is quite sad that her friend is now gone but knows he is in a better place and at peace. Thank you and God bless each of you in your sorrow. Just know that Beauvais was still making others happy even as he left.

Having known Beauvais through both music and medical school, I was able to experience his phenomenal intelligence and unlimited talent as we enjoyed years of common interest. I share with John and with Molly the sadness and astonishment of losing this most uniquely gifted man.

I was very saddened to learn of Beauvais' death. I came to DeKalb in 1996 and he and I were instant friends, sharing a love of the piano. After he retired he made of point of visiting me whenever he was here. He was such a dear man to me. He talked about Molly ALL the time and was so very proud of you, sweetie. I know all of you will miss him terribly. Most sinerely, Nancy Wright, Medical Records Department, DeKalb Medical Center.

I am so sorry we have lost Beauvais. He was such a brilliant and talented person. We were classmates at Decatur High and he was physician to my late husband. My deepest sympathy goes out to John and to Molly Elizabeth. I know he loved you both dearly.
