May Aunt Bea rest in peace and may the precious family she leaves behind find comfort in the memories we all share. She and Uncle Charlie were always so generous to Mark and I, and we will never forget the hilarious toast Uncle Charlie offered at our rehearsal dinner 22 years ago today! (6/6) Aunt Bea also made the most delicious lobster casseroles. Personally, I will always be grateful for the way she made me feel welcome at family events. Her dedication as a wife, mom, grandmother, and all the other hats she wore as a true matriarch of her family, were truly inspirational. Rest well, Aunt Bea! We know you are watching over all of us! We love you. In Christ, Mark and Jodi
