Dear Aunt Janet, Mom, and Aunt Susie~
Grandma was the best grandmother and mother a child and grandchild could ever have. We will all miss her greatly! I was always her ornery one. She loved that best about me. I miss her laughing and singing all the time when I was a child. Her house always smelled like cookies and candy, just what a kid would want it to be like at grandmas. You and all of us have lost a dear friend. If you're watching over me now...I miss you grandma, but know you are where you want to be and no longer where you could not be you. I love you! Pammy

Aunt Beatrice was a wonderful and beautiful lady. She always treated me like a king and never forgot my birthday! She would greet everyone with a smile and make you feel special. Heaven is a happier place today and I'm sure she is playing cards with her brother! -- I wonder if you can cheat in heaven -- if so, she will catch him! Her spirit is alive today in my heart.

Dear Family:
We are so sorry to hear of Beatrice's passing. We always enjoyed her visits during the Clark-Friedrichsen-Petit Reunions, and her stories will be deeply missed. The obituary tribute for your mom was beautiful. She was definitely one fine lady! Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this sad time. Your Mother was one precious lady. She always made you feel so important in her presence. It was obvious of you girls love for her in how you were so kind to her. Now she is with the one who loved her most of all, Her Master. "Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted." We have missed all of the Meade girls at Red Hatters. Sincerely,
Cindy Humphries

Dear Sue and family,
Sam and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I feel I am so blessed to have made the trip to the Petit family reunion last summer after 36 years. I will cherish the visits to the nursing home to see Aunt Bea. Your mom will be missed greatly by all. It is comforting to know that she is now with the Lord, grandma and grandpa and all her siblings. May God's peace and love be with all of you.
Love to all,
Cindy Humphries and family

I was blessed to have had the chance to know Bea, she was a special and one of a kind lady with a fantastic sense of humor. Bea always put a smile on my face and made me laugh, even when the the day was tough. Bea will always remain in our hearts and memories, she will be greatly missed!! We love you Bea.
