Bertha and Elton were always happy to have us visit them. They drove to see me in Wisconsin. I took them down to Chicago. We went down to the shore of Lake Michigan. They seem to enjoy it

When u look at Ms Bea, u know what you will look like as you get older. What a very special lady she was, and u will always have special memories of this very special lady. She was such a blessing to all who knew her. 

Bea was such a pleasure to be around.  We began to get to know one other on the trips we shared through the van ministry at our church.  My husband,, Dean drove the van. Ms. Bea  told Dean he was the son she never had. I enjoyed all the laughter & talks she & I had on those trips.  Her sweet smile was like no  other.  I’m so thankful for the relationship we shared.

It was truly my honor and pleasure to know Ms. Bea. She was such a joy to be with and her smile lit up the room.  Her love for Jesus and the strength of her faith were an example to me. I was greatly blessed to spend time with her in Sunday School, Woman’s Bible Study and  on Mission Of Hope trips. I will miss her. 

Bea was such a blessing to us all! Her warm welcoming smile made you feel loved always. She was so loving to the children at our Mission of Hope school. They cherished her.
She brought sunshine into the lives of so many and will truly be missed in our Sunday School class and church. Heaven is brighter with her lovely spirit shining there.
Our deepest sympathy to you all. May God comfort and keep you. May He provide many memories of a dear lady.
