Bea and I were childhood best friends. Then, our paths separated. I could not, and would not, believe the circumstances that took her life. It is still devastating to me.
I wish her family peace and love on this first anniversary.

My mother, Joan Duffy, taught with Bea at FDR High School in Brooklyn in the 1970s. Bea was remembered as a dear friend and co-worker. May she rest in peace.

Oh Dear, "Ms D". I know you will be missed by all who met you.
Once I heard that you were originally from Brooklyn, and still taught the same subjects, I knew you were my World Studies Teacher at FDR High School in 1969-1970 year. You were perhaps the kindest teacher I ever had at my High school. But I remember you as Miss DiGiovanni. (You were using your married name in following years). Thank you for the beautiful memories you left with us. You´re gone too soon. I wish all who knew you and will certainly miss you eventual comfort

Although I never knew her my thoughts and prayers go out to you as part of the Farmingdale community. I myself was a graduate of Farmingdale High School (Class of 1977). May God continue to watch over and guide you today and always.

Beatrice appears to have been a wonderful woman
On behalf Giordano and Caroline Ferrari of Barre, VT, North Miami Beach and Port Charlotte. Giordano had a relative in NY City and Beatrice probably is in that extended family. These thoughts from Giordano´s nephew, David Sironi.

I worked for the SS Director for several years at the HS, and had contact with all the teachers. Bea was one of the sweetest loveliest kindest women I knew. She also tutored my daughters. Rest well Bea
