When I was visiting with your Mother her sweet spirit was there for all to see, speaking quietly. What a comfort to know that we will all be together one of these days, I know she is at rest with her family that went before her. It is hard to lose our mothers but we know for sure they are in heaven.

Our Prayers are with you through these difficult days. Miss Bea will be greatly missed by all. For those of us who go Christmas Caroling, she always greeted us every year with a smile and warm heart. Then there was always the cookies to conclude our visit, even Christmas of 2018.

Jack & Betty:
So sorry for your loss! Didn't know your mother but being in school with both of you--seeing how you conducted yourselves; am sure that your mother (a honorable homemaker) was a big part in the dignity that both of you have always presented. Hope to see you at the reunion.
Sincere condolences to all your family,

Betty and Jack, our sincere condolences on the passing of Aunt Bea. I will always remember coming to your house when we were growing up, or going to Granny Parnell's house, and playing in the yard. These will always be precious memories for me; Aunt Bea will always be remembered.
