I am so sorry to hear of Bea's passing. She was my absolute favorite resident when I worked at Traditions. My 7 year old daughter has a special piggy bank on her dresser that Bea got for her when she was born. My heart is breaking tonight as I stumbled across this information and that she was at Bough. I worked at Bough for 5 years but am now at their sister facility Brookmont. I even stopped there a few times but had no idea Bea was there. I know she knew how special she was to me, but I wish dearly that I could have seen her more recently. I am truly sorry for her family's loss.

It broke my heart to lose nana, she meant the world to me. I will miss her smile and laughter and all the fun times I spent with her. She was a caring, giving person and the absolute sweetest person in the world. She got to live a nice long life at age 97 and now she is at peace and in good hands with god. I saw nana the day before she passed, Carol and George were there with me and we were able to speak to nana and give her our love, before she moved on to heaven. Thank you to everyone who gave their support and to my nana, may you rest in peace.

Many hearts in our family were broken on the morning of June 17th when we lost an Angel and the lord gained one. Nana there was never a time in my 52 years when I didn't see you happy and with a smile on your face, you were always so sweet, and kind, and loved by all. I'm glad Carol, George, Ryan, Kyle and myself were able to be with you the day before and tell you how much we love you. Pappy can now be with his little Angel again after over 40 years. You will always be in my heart and soul, I LOVE YOU NANA.
