Bea was one in a million. I can see her in mind. When the children in church were penny marching and it took a long time, Bea would run out of breath. She would get so tickled. I loved listening to her and Shirley sing “Thanks to Calvary.” She truly was “salt of the earth.” I will miss her terribly but know she is exactly where she wanted to be. She is with her savior and reunited with her husband. What a blessed reunion.

OH I just LOVED Bea! I am so sorry to hear of her passing, and will miss her so much! So full of joy and love and life, I never saw her without a big smile and she made me laugh every minute I was around her. Enjoyed the gospel singings at Dennard so much with her and Christine, they could rock the rafters with their beautiful voices. I looked forward to seeing her at Walmart the last few years when we both happened to be shopping on Tuesdays, such a delight to visit with her every time. Just seeing her smile made my heart happy. I missed getting to see her this past year because of the virus but I think about her with much love. There's a huge empty spot in the world today. Prayers sent to the family, she will be greatly missed.
