I was a neighbor and friend. We had many talks about our families and some good memories.

I was fortunate enough to get to know Bea the last few years. She was a strong spirit and time spent with her was always enjoyable. She was quick to express thanks for any treats or floral gifts and never turned down a cookie! Even trips to the doctor could provide a few laughs. It was a privilege to spend the last two birthday lunches with her and to think of her as a friend.
