My Mother taught me many valuable lessons in her lifetime, and I will miss her greatly.

My Beloved Sister - I am so proud of my BIG SISTER. I got to visit you several times but this last visit was very special. I got to be with you to celebrate your last birthday (97). You were so happy. We had a good time. God has been good to you and to me. You were very talented and could do anything. I loved you dearly and sure will miss you. I know that you are happy now.  Love, your BABY SiSTER, Shirley

My memories of you will always remain very, very special to me.  You were an amazing women and if I can be half the women you were, I will be very blessed.  I will truly miss you.  Love You Grandma

Grandma Bea will be remembered by all of her family.  She was a true matriarch and her values are indelibly imprinted onto all of us.

A loving and caring Grandmother that was so wonderful a person I cannot even begin to put into words. I just arrived from Texas and missed seeing her by one day. I know though I will see her when I get to Heaven. Until then she'll be watching me from above. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA

A Dear Wonderful Mother that I will miss always, who gave me many years of love and direction in my life. 

This was my Great Grandma Bea. She was more than just my Great Grandma, She was also my friend. She will be missed but I will see her again someday.

Grandma Bea...aka Honeybea! She grew with the times; from horse and carriage to automobiles.  She saw the advent of television and managed to learn computers and cellphones. She was a woman of many talents and my favorite was that of a seamstress. Although she was here for 97 years, it is only a blink of an eye in the scope of eternity. We are happy she is home.

Aunt Bea was a wonderful lady, full of life and love. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She accomplished so much in her life. I can only wish for that in my life too. You will be greatly missed. Love you Aunt Bea!

Aunt Bea will be dearly missed. I think of all of the things that she has accomplished in her life. She always amazed me. I think about her smiles and her laughter. She makes the sun shine on a cloudy day. She turns sad faces into smiles. She turns cries into laughter. So sorry to not see you before you left us for Heaven, but we will all meet up again some day and have a big celebration of life. Love you forever! Bob and Donna xoxoxox

Aunt Bea was a sweet lady that had a deep love for God and shared this love with everyone that she came in contact with.  She was a great inspiration to all with all that she accomplished over her lifetime.  She will be greatly missed by all but she is happy now and free of pain and this is what is important.  When our time comes, we will be together again and it will be a joyous occasion. Whenever I see the sunrise and the sunsets I will always think of her as I know she is shining down on all of us from heaven.  God Bless.  Love, Sheryl

Doris, I know what a blessed life your mom led and how she instilled the good values into you and the rest of your family.  I too believe she will be playing the piano and singing in Heaven.
God be with each of you at this time.  Love, Ann

Heart felt condolences for the family. My prayers are with you.

You have our heart felt sympathy to the Toppins Family.  Remember when we leave through one door another opens and eternity is filled with what we are promised by our Lord.
Dr. Mike & Linda Moon

My grandmother - wow, you did it. You raised a beautiful family, wrote 3 wonderful books, you were a business woman, snappy dresser, fun to be around, devoted to God, and an inspiration to so many, including me. I will miss you but I know I'll see you and the others again someday. Rest in Peace Grandma. 

We will miss Mom and her energetic personality. She had so many talents in her 97 yrs on Earth. Now she will be singing in the big choir and visiting so many friends and family and all the disciples and of course, Jesus..she loved church. Enjoy Heaven MOM!!!
