Dear Camille & Carolyn, Your mom was the best. So much fun, so full life. She endured the screaming of teenage girls as we watched Michael Jackson moonwalk across the stage at the Jackson 5 concert. She updated us on Starsky & Hutch. I will always be a back-up singer to her Midnight Train to Georgia. All my love and prayers, Gabi

As a former student, I will always remember the lessons Mrs. Millen taught me both academic and life all those years ago at Plummer Elementary School. I know this is not an easy time for the family, but know that the people that she touched while here on earth will always hold her in their hearts and prays. God Bless.

Dear Camille,
The picture you selected is exactly how I remember Aunt Beadie: so pretty with that big smile, and the mischievous glint in her eyes. I like to think that she is with some of her old friends and family who went before her, and they're greeting her and she's so happy to see them again. I know she'll be watching over you and yours, and that she's so proud of you for being such a brave, kind, inspiring, wonderful daughter. May your happy memories help comfort you, and know that so many of us are keeping you in our prayers.
Love, Lori
