Dear lady Bea, you were such a loving and caring mom to ALL the children and I want to thank you for the many hours spent with my daughter Gina and also with Ray. Mahalo for being a dear dear friend and all the hours of visiting and chatting with you. You were an awesome listener and gave back much feedback. I will deeply miss you but you will forever remain in my heart and memory book. With much much aloha Joanne

Dearest Bea -- A loving family member and a very special friend.  We will truly miss you, but we will reflect on the many happy memories we shared with Pat and Lisa and our two awesome granddaughters!  We always will hold you close to our hearts, with loving thoughts.

Bea, You walked a road with me through very rough times.  You were there for me as a kid when I needed someone to run to and listen in confidence and I always listened to you when you needed a shoulder.  I remember the first time we met and how vibrant and loving you were. You never lost that. You always were "in the mix" with laughter, tears, hugs, music, and love. I could write a book about our adventures and will keep them close to my heart.  I am honored to have known you and humbled to be close to your grandchildren. You came to me in a dream last night, just as my cousin did in his blue aloha shirt years ago, so I knew it was time to write. The revolution of the full circle has encompassed all of us and with your guidance and compassion, we are all better be cause of it.  I will think of you with a smile when I see the blue iris, the apricot roses, and so much more. Kiss my dad, my brother, and my dear cousin for me.  Tell him I kept my word.  You will never be forgotten.  Aloha, see you again in time.

Bea, you were such a wonderful mom to your children and I know the grandchildren were so special to you.  Raising our kids in the same neighborhood kept us busy, but your Patrick holds a special place in my heart as you knew.  You will be missed.  See you in heaven!!

We will miss you dearly Aunty Bea! We know you are in a better place. RIP We love you!! Until we meet again, ALOHA!!

Aunty Bea, you were such a huge inspiration in my life, and I am truly blessed to have gotten to know you and spend time with you. You taught me so much about love: your husband, your children, your grandchildren and everyone else. You loved us all so unconditionally, we are all better people because of you!!!!!

Mom, this will be a hard word for me to say again without thinking of you. Thank you for all your wisdom and for the love you have for my family. You will always be in my heart, say hi to dad I'm sure he missed you very much.
I will miss you but will not forget you all I have to do is say "Mom".

I've only met Bea a few times. What I saw in her was, A loving Grandma...A giving soul...And such a sweet character. I'm thankful to have met her. Wishing her family and friends some comfort during this difficult time.

Auntie Bea you were such a huge part of my life growing up. I have so many wonderful memories of being with you and Uncle Pat at your home. You were always such a comfort to me. You will missed. Give love to uncle, and my grandpa too. Aloha, A hui hou kakou. ( Farewell, until we meet again.)

Bea, I always appreciated your warm hugs and beautiful smile when I would see you. I'm glad you are no longer suffering however, your beautiful presence will be greatly missed! RIP. Much Love.

Aunty...I will miss your wonderful words of wisdom. And your ability to tell it like it is.  The earth lost a beautiful soul, but I bet the luau in heaven was the best ever when you were reunited with Uncle Pat.  May you rest in Paradise.

Rest in Paradise Aunty. I know you are with Uncle sharing your beautiful laugh that was always so infectious and made everything seem better. With Love Always.

Aunty Bea, Its not the same without you. Words cant say what an amazing lady you were. I know you're in a beautiful place where you belong. I miss you much.

My grandma is one of the sweetest kindest person you could ever meet. We will all miss you very much but were happy that you're in a happy place with the rest of your family. She was the best grandma anyone could ever be and she will always be my ANGEL! We will always remember you and we love you very much.

Grandma I will and always haved loved you, and going to your house when I was boared. when I would call you to ask if I counld come over you would always say "well what are you going to do at my house!" and I would always answer "have fun like I always do!" a few mounths ago when you told kaila and I to get the pans out i was messing with you by grabbing the wrong pans then after I gave you the right pan kaila and I took out all the pans and started drumming on them with spoons and our hands, that was so much fun, because we were never allowed really to do that at home! today we lit a candel for you and when I blew it out I said "I hope you have a good life in heaven, and I love you  grandma." You are the best grandma ever and no one could replace you I will always love you and I miss you. I love you!

Bea was not just my sister, but my best friend. We did a lot of things together. I have a lot of happy memories, but they can never replace my beloved sister. Miss you lots. Love, Lois

Dearest Bea - We miss you and love you.  You made the world a happier and better place.  We will meet again someday.   Iris & Kaipo Puahala and Ohana  (Davenport, FL)

So I have been trying to think of the words to describe how I am feeling about this tremendous loss to my family…. And all I can come up with is sad, heartbroken, and incredibly empathetic to my cousins who have lost their dear mother Bea, My Aunty. To be honest there really isn't any combination of words to describe this perfect example of a strong, loyal and 100% real woman. She and all of my aunties, uncles and even my grandparents are the centerfold of everything I have known. Now I've lost others. But this one is different, really close to home. It really brings everything full circle and reminds me that time is ticking. Each day is a gift, every second, every minute. This is a very sad way to start the new year. My thoughts are with all of my family through this loss and I hope that the cousins of my generation are comforting our parents and remember what kind of values and morals that have been instilled because of our grandparents. They are the glue that keeps us together and as time goes on and they continue to leave behind their legacies we have to keep them strong. I love you. R.I.P Aunty Bea say hi to everyone for me.

Grandma I love u and miss all the things u did  with me like helping me with my Legos I truly miss u and happy your resting peacefully

Words can never say how much she meant to me and our family. She was more than my mother she was my best friend and will truly be missed. We are happy to know she is now resting peacefully and where she wants to be. (Finally with her true love, my father)

Words can never say how much my mother meant to me and my family. She was more than just my mother she was my best friend. She will truly be missed but we know she is resting peacefully.

Bea, you were the best Mother-In-Law I could ever wish for!
Thank you for everything you have done for our family. 
Heaven is lucky to have such a special angel. Rest in peace.
You are forever in my heart!
