To your Husband, your mother Maria Helena and your Father and all your family, I wish to express my deepest condolences and let you know that the news of Beatriz departure also leaves a great empty space in my heart.

Sunday's service was beautiful and a glorious tribute to her life and the joy and friendship she shared with all who knew her. Bea was a very close friend and confidant who shared many great times together and she was one who helped me through painful struggles of and stood beside me during tough times.



I will never forget her wisdom and ability to share it with you. She would not only give you sound advice but converse in a way that allowed you to “get it”. She was a master pack rat who kept everything for one reason or another.



I will always love you, and strive to carry forward the values and character you exhibited.

I met Bea on several occasions many years ago, but her sweet, warm and kind image is always on my mind. We really regret that we did not spend time getting together with Bea and Jimmy, but who would have thought that life would be so short for such a sweet and kind person.

Bea was the sister that I never had and always wanted. She took care of me when I was a little girl and continued to take care of me even after I got married. Her heart to love no matter who you were made me love her even more. She was a role model for me and always will be. I love you, Bea.

Jim,



While we only knew Bea for a short time, there was a friendship developing. I know this because of one of the trinkets she brought us from her home country. It is a ceramic green dish in the shape of a leaf, a lotus leaf maybe? Bea and I love those whimsical kinds of things and looked forward to riding Amtrak to Old Sacramento to hunt for more. The leaf found a place next to our kitchen sink and holds our scrub pad. Imagine that – someone thinking of you while quietly washing the dishes!



Thank you, Jim, for taking such great care of our new friend.



Most sincerely,

My fun loving friend, the moments we had together will live forever in my heart. Love you always,

Sof

Never forgotton will be Bea's smile and loving nature. She was always very passionate about the things she loved to do. It was always a delight to see her and Jimmy walk into our restaurant for dinner and a friendly chat. I'm glad our family got to know and get close with those two. She will reamain forever in my heart.

Bea and Jim took care of our group of college friends as if they were our second parents. If she didn't have words of advice, she had words of encouragement. If she didn't have words of encouragment she had words of comfort. She helped us grow into the men and women we are today. Thank you for the time you spent with all of us.

While I never had the opportunity to meet Beatriz, It was easy to see the joy and beauty she brought to the world through Jimmy.

Thanks Bea for being a friend and teaching me to be a better one.



I am very happy to know you for so many years. It is a friendship that will shine so brightly throughout my life.

I will miss our quiet conversations but I am sure we can still hear

each others' thoughts through the memories we share.

I cherish the laughs we had along with the memories of all the

gathering of friends.

You live in my heart and mind and will continue to flourish as I share

my friendship with others.

Jim,

I did not have the chance to know Beatriz. However, I want to present you with my most sincere sympathies. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Bea,

You and Jimmy were such a great couple. I only met you and Jimmy about 10 years ago at my grandson's(Michael and Trish Csakan) wedding in Boston, MA. But what a great meeting of a great person. Our time was only a weekend but I enjoyed your fun-loving and caring personality. We did meet another time at USC which was also a rewarding time together. You may have your wings now and will look over all of us but we will meet again. In the mean time look over Jimmy and guide him along his way. He and all of us will miss you a lot. Until later, have a wonderful journey.



All my Love



Grandma Caudell

I knew Jimmy and Bea when they first started dating. I remember the good natured way he talked about "the Woman" and how he stuck with it to win her. I still see her as she was then, smiles, spirit and the hair - a little doll. They were truely blessed to have each other and blessed us with their demonstration of love and faith. Thank you Bea and Jimmy for what you have given us.

Dear Beatriz,



You were a wonderful person, and will be missed by many people whose lives you touched, us included! This is a sign of a life lived well. We wish you peace in your new journey, Our condolences and deepest sympathy go to all the family members, especially Jimmy!

Bea,

We are forever grateful to have been blessed by your presence on this Earth. If only you could have stayed a little longer for us to enjoy your smile, warmth, strength, and love. We love you. We will miss you.

Jim and Bea are a model for the rest of us; they represent all that love, commitment, faith, and the human spirit truly should be. I applaud both Jimmy and Beatriz for their inspiration and spirit... and I extend a profound respect to Jim for the example he sets. I am learning how to be a good husband by watching him. God bless and Fight on.

-- Ryan

Though I only got to spend a few days with you and Jim spread over a number of years, I was always impressed with your kind and sweet innocence. You will be missed.

Bea, you lived life, loved family, and cherished friends. You are a rare gem and a beautiful woman who influenced and touched our lives in untold ways. May you rest in peace. You will be forever remembered in our hearts.

I met Bea almost 10 years ago, and although we only spent a weekend together, she showed me she loved life and was a very fun-loving, bright and caring person! She will continue to bring that brightness to our lives.

Beatriz was always so full of sweetness and good humor. When Elisa was small, Beatriz babysat her for a few days in a row, and 14 years later, she still remembers what a good time she had with her. She will be sorely missed.

Wendy Shipnuck, Ben Ferris and Elisa Ferris

Beatriz, we miss you, and will continue to do so. It's so ironic that someone who loved and enjoyed life and the people who knew her so much should have to say, "Good bye."



We are deeply saddened for ouselves (everyone of us who knew you), because we have lost a truly terrific person. We are proud and fortunate to have known you. We will always remember your smile and ever-pleasant demeanor. Thank you for showing us what courage, friendship, and love are truly about.

Bea was a good, kind person. Given the circumstances, she always managed to keep optimistic and smile. She has shown strength and courage that we as people sometimes lack. Bea will be sorely missed.

Bea your time on earth may have been short but in that time you touched so many. Giving so much of yourself to others. Always having a smile to give and kind words to say. Your strength and love have inspired us all. Your journey on earth has ended but your memory lives on in all you have touched. You will be greatly missed. Always in our hearts.



Love,



Tina, Rich & Family

Beatriz was like an Aunt to me. She was so loving and caring. She will always be in my heart. I will miss her very much.

-Francisco A. Ramirez Jr. age 13



Beatriz was very close to our family. Since I was little, I considered her like an Aunt. I didn't see her much, but all the times I did, they will always be remembered. She will always be in my heart

-Angelina M. Ramirez age 17



I can't believe I didn't make it to see her just one more time. Beatriz was a person with the biggest heart and smile that I've ever met. She will always be in our hearts. Que dios la alla recojido en paz y la tenga en su Santa Gloria.

-Martha Ojeda & Etaverica"Tabby"Anaya



TO HER FAMILY & FRIENDS, YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS

Bea was one of the nicest and most sincere people we have ever had the privilege to meet.



She will be greatly missed.

bea is an example to us all her strength in the face of so many challenges, her ability to smile amid the pain her unwavering faith in humanity will be my guiding light for the rest of my life. She is not only an angel but my hero and her hero Jimmy is also an inspiration!!

Aunt Peggy

rarely does any one person have such an impact on the lifes of the people that they meet. Beatriz, however, was just such an individual. Her selflessness, candoe, laughter and love made all of us better and will certainy grace heaven with her presence!

Love, Uncle Taylor and Aunt Gema

Beatriz,

We will always remember you as a happy, friendly, loving person who made Jimmy the happiest and luckiest man in the world. May God Bless You.

Beatriz was a great person, she was not only my sister in-law but she was one of my best friends. She left me with a lot of great things to remember her by. I remember when she took me out for my birthday. We went to watch a movie and eat lunch. We had so much fun that day. I could still hear her laugh. We always talked on the phone. Mostly, we would talk about the episodes of Days of our lives. When she couldn’t watch because she was to sick, I would call to catch her up on what was going on. Sometimes her and Jim would call to see if they could pick the kids up. She would tell us “you kids have fun, you need it”. I remember when Noah got baptized we were in a Spanish mass so Beatriz will translate for us, and she’s Noah’s godmother. Alyiah always wants to be with her auntie Beatriz. Jim and Beatriz will always be Alyiah and Noah’s second parents .I remember when the holiday’s where coming up we will talk about things that she wanted to do like making gingerbread house and chocolate cover strawberry for the kids they had so much fun ,doing that with there auntie Bea. Alyiah and Noah loves to go too there house to go in the hot tub with there auntie Bea and uncle Jim. She will always be apart of us and she will be missed. We Love her!!Love, your sister-in-Low Loge,Brother-in Low Alex,Niece Alyiah,and nephew Noah

Bea was always gracious and just, you know, lovely, sick or well. I know she'll be missed by us down here, but she'll always be around, too.

Bea and Jimbo have always been the paragon love -- steadfast, faithful and enduring in their mission of giving the best of themselves to each other. Bea, your genuine concern, interest and hopes for me, were expressed in every gesture and conversation. Thank you for sharing your heart in those small spaces of time. I thank God for you in my life.

We will miss you ,you will be part of us in our hearts!!!

Bea was a wonderful person. She was so brave. Though she was in pain, you would never know it. Bea was a true inspiration; a person whose light and strength, this world will sorely miss.

Bea we will miss you very much you were like a sister to me you always had a way to make me feal better no matter what we were going thru i will always love you sis love ken and rachel

WE ARE SAD THAT BEATRIZ IS GONE

NO MATTER HOW SICK SHE WAS, SHE ALWAYS CARRIED A SMILE ON HER FACE AND THAT IS TRULY A PERSON WITH GREAT COURAGE AND STRENGTH. WE WILL MISS HER.

The time that we had spent with Bea from our first meeting at USC with Jimmy, we knew what a loving and giving person she was. God has big plans for her in his kingdom. Gods blessing upon Jimmy and the family.

Love always,

Cheryle, Andrew

and Nick Csakan

Dear Jimmy & family,

Bea is only temporarily away from us. We'll all be reunited in eternal life to celebrate the Glory and Resurection of our Lord Jesuscrist.

Her courage and strenght should be an inspiration to us all of a beautiful young woman and her love for her family and especially her "angel" Jimmy,

We love you,

Ruth & cousins Alex, Rebecca, & Ricardo Jose Corbera

You'll always live in our memories forever. You were a beacon of strengh and courage for all of us.

Thanks Bea for your giving spirit, you will be missed. I treasure the many little handmade gifts that appeared on my office door for holidays.

In our last visit together, Bea shared her heart-wisdom with me about what's really important in life--our health and our loving relationships. "What does money matter without these things?" she exclaimed to me.



I listened very closely to her as she expressed her feelings, her fears, her love and concerns. She was speaking from a depth of being that I recognized as her sheer essence.



I once again thanked her for being my life-model, for showing me what commitment to life and to one's spouse and family was all about. I thanked her for loving me and especially for letting me love her!



We best honor Bea by taking within our own being the wisdom she shared from her challenging life lessons. I am.

Bea,

The moment I met you I knew you were a beautiful person with a warm and kind spirit that touches everyone around you. I know you will continue touching spirits where you are now. We will all miss you terribly!

Good-bye, Bea. Thanks for being you and touching all of our lives. I'm going to miss you so much. I wish you peace in your new journey.

Beatriz will always be missed in person, but will live on in all of us.

"She loved life." really says it well. Whenever we visited, she reminded me that life is never perfect, but that it was ever beautiful.



She was such a good friend to our family.

Bea was a sweatie and loving wife to Jimmy. Jorge and I will miss her presence especially adoration towards animals and eye for photography. ...and such a stunning looking lady! We'll miss her dearly

bea, our angel who now has her wings, no matter how sick you were you always were concerned about how everyone else was doing. Your smile lit up the room. We will miss you forever!!
