Bee was the kind of person who lit up the room. She touched so many lives with her love and laughter. She loved and cherished her family and many friends. Knowing she is in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus, as well as Sam, Phillip, and all those she loved waiting for her, brings peace. My love and prayers for Cyndi, Patti and Debbi, their families and all of Bee's family and friends.

Bee was a wonderful and kind friend. I have very fond memories of her and Sam and both are truly missed. But what I will miss more is what wonderful neighbors they always were to us. May you find love and kindness of hearts that await you....

Bee was a great one! She always had a smile. She was the most cheerful person I ever knew. She and Reba were a pair to behold with their Sweet Adelines. I feel very special having known her and her sweet husband Sam.
