Dear Eileen, you and your family are in my thoughts today. I did not have the privilege of knowing your mama when she was healthy but Alzheimer's didn't rob her of her sweetness. She was a lovely lady even then. Now your mama is free like the bird to fly away..... Please take comfort in knowing that your dad was there to take your mama's hand as she walked through death's doorway into true Life.
Carol and Walter Harvey send their respects and deepest sympathy.
Aunt Bea. You are missed but I know you are with your family in Heaven now. I am so sorry for your loss. We love you all. Becky
Aunt Bea was a wonderful lady who knew how to cook, sew and was a terrific sister-in-law. Uncle Newell and I loved to visit her when she lived near us at Charleston. Bea made me several dress because I was hard to fit. She will always be in our hearts. I wish uncle Newell was here he would get uncle Jake and be there with ya'll right now. Love and thoughts will be coming from South Carolina as you deal with your loss.
