Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for you and your family. It is never easy to lose a loved one, especially when they are taken too soon. You told me that your mom had been sick for a while...I hope that you and your family find comfort in knowing that she is no longer in any pain.

John, my deepest condolences to you and your family during this time. Your mother's obituary confirms that she was an amazing woman. She was obviously a loving and caring woman and she will be with your father, brother, your extended family, and you always. May she rest in peace my friend.

My beloved Cousin Linda, my heart is so heavy and can't believe you are gone. You were way to young and still had so much to live for. I will always cherish our wonderful memories. Also, you were an inspiration to all of us with that positive energetic personality. I can still see you making us all laugh. I can remember when you walk through my mom's door how excited we were to see you. We just love spending time with you. I will never forget when you took us to Busch Gardens we had so much fun. We will miss you so much. We hate to see you go but, I know you are in a good place with all of our beautiful family who left before us. Until we meet again I love you my beautiful Linda.

I fondly remember our original game nights. One of the most memorable was a game involving singing. Linda made up her own songs and had us in stitches.

Sending my most heartfelt condolences to the Beall family and all of those who hold Mrs. Beall close to their hearts. The biggest testaments to our lives are the fruit that we bear. I work with John (Jr) and can attest that they raised a kind and strong advocate of a son and I pray that Mr. Beall (Sr.) takes comfort in knowing that their seed is good seed in this earth.
