My prayers are with you and Bee in heaven. I knew Bee from working with her at the old St. Francis Medical Center back in the early 1980s. She was such a strong woman, a great coworker, and she had such a wonderful sense of humor. As you are remembering her, know that I am so sorry for your loss and I am celebrating her life in her honor.
