During today's services I felt the reality of your loss.

I do have the fondest of memories with Aunt Bea.  They are of a simpler time and from a childhood long ago.

If at the very end, ones life truly flashes before their eyes, I will see Aunt Bea.  She'll be striking up a conversation with a reassuring "Hey kido..."

I always felt her genuine concern for me as well as everyone in her life must have.

Thank you for a beautiful service to remember the life of such a kind soul.

My daughter and I would like to express our sympathy to your family. I lived next door to Bea and Joe when they first moved on Pearl Road when Pete was a toddler.  They both were always so very kind to me.  We met again years later when she sold Avon and I lived off the Parkway.  Both Angie and I visited Bea & Joe a few times.  Still the same wonderfully warm-hearted neighbors.  As we all get older our lovely memories of our friends are such a treasure.  We were trully blessed to have known such sweet friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Bea and my mom, Eleanor Camillo were close friends for many years.  I will always remember her pizza!!!  THE BEST!  Whenever my mom had a party, Bea would bring her famous pizza.  It didn't last long. I can still hear her laugh, and see her smile, especially when she and my mom were joking around.  As someone said when my grandmother passed, "The earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal."  I will remember her fondly. My prayers are with you.

Joanne and Geoff: I will miss your mom so much! Loved talking to her when she was outside and loved giving her books that I thought she would enjoy. Maggie will miss her too! Wish that I had known her longer. I know that she was a great mom and grandma. My thoughts are with all of you! Love you Bea and will miss you! Tom and Debbie

Bea was a fine woman, with a great sense of humor and a wonderful friend to my mother, Rosemary.  She will be missed.

To My Cousins: I will always remember your mother's gentle spirit and great beauty. I will cherish those times my Mom and I stopped by only to be treated to coffee and one of Aunt Bea's great desserts! I am honored to have been so loved by her. My heart is broken but find joy in knowing that she is reunited with those she loved.
Peace be with all of you. Love, Lana

Gram- I will miss you trying to force feed me all of the left-overs and junk food in your house... It was the only place for guilt-free indulging. You will forever hold a special place in my heart.
P.S. I am so happy Caleb and you got a chance to meet.

Grams! You were the best we are going to miss you and your cooking!

Mom, I'm glad you got to live with us this last year and 1 1/2. I enjoyed sitting outside with you and taking you for car rides.  When we came home with a box of donuts or a fresh baked triple berry pie (of course we had to get as can of whipped cream) to satisfy your sweet tooth, you were the perfect excuse. We both know who ate most of whatever we brought home.  When i watch Big Bang Theory, How i Met Your Mother or Dancing With The Stars i know you will still be with me.  People knew you as my mother-in-law; I knew you as my friend.  I will miss you.     - Geoff
