Compai Jack,
I had the pleasure of meeting your mother once here in Camden, and I felt her joy of being with you and sharing your added Holy name friends. She is now sharing with your sister, and father in God's eternal light! We miss you and pray for you and your family! Love always

Jack,
Tami and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Bee's passing, but know she is in a better, more peaceful place, reconnecting with family and friends. Growing up, I remember what a joy it was when "Aunt Bee came to visit," and seeing her and Mimi talk about old times (especially how to raise kids), eat cheese toast, and always smile! Her laugh filled a room, her smile brightened ANY day, and as careful as she was to never be a burden, she was such a strong and positive presence in ANY room. I am so glad I got to see her a few years ago during a business trip; I only wish I could have seen her again after moving here to Utah. She was an Angel on earth, and now, God has called her to be with Him, and her family in heaven. Although we will miss her terribly, the thought of her being in peace and with so many loved ones makes me smile. God bless Aunt Bee and God bless you for everything you do and have done for so many people!
Love and prayers are with you,
Skipper and Tami

Dear Jack,
In G-d we see the miracle of life. Mom gave life to you, she loved you, she nurtured you, and she basked in the joy of watching you grow into the wonderful man that you are today. She took great joy in her family and through G-d's miracle she was able to live a very long and fruitful life. For those of us who were fortunate enough to know her, we knew the meaning of grace and kindness. Mom always had an uplifting hand and heart. She made her time here on earth a time of happiness and love for all those who entered her life in any way. Now she rests in peace, knowing that her work on this earth is done, but we know she will always be the dutiful angel, watching over all of us, because she just can't help herself!
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
? Helen Keller
Mom will always remain a part of all of us. G-d Bless.

Dear Jack,
What can I say about the sweetest, most loving person God ever put on this earth? Throughout my life, she had always been more like a surrogate mother than just my favorite aunt~!
I can't help but believe my Mom and Barb were there together, eagerly awaiting her arrival. I'm so grateful that she's now at peace.
God bless you for all the love and care you provided for both your Mom and Barb during this past year.
Fondly,
Lynda
