I met Bea during David's funeral service in 1984 & even through unimaginable grief she opened her heart & swept me in her arms & said, "call me Mom", and just like that I was family. I never looked back. Though I was unable to attend in person today, I cried, laughed & nodded along with you as you shared your memories of this most beautiful, unconditionally loving woman I was privileged to call Mom. Even though each of our stories are uniquely our own, we all use the same words sharing our memories. Imagine just how remarkable that is. Seeing Philip lovingly pay tribute to his Grandmother, her fortitude when faced with adversity without complaint, her sweet loving forgiveness - always forgiveness - and her unwavering joy in the Lord it occurred to me her legacy lies in the spirit of her children and grandchildren. The precious gifts of love, forgiveness, walking the walk of joyful faith have all been left to you.. And at the end of your life may you also hear, "well done My good and faithful Servant!"
I'll miss you Mom
all my love, Maria

Mom I am so gonna miss you but you have no more pain, no more tears and you are with Daddy, David and so many other family members . So thankful for our daily chats for so many years, your wisdom and kindness and patience . So much fun and great memories with the trips you made to CT and stayed with us and enjoyed all your girls, son in laws and especially your grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. We enjoyed traveling to Florida and having you travel around with us in RV. You were there for holidays, birthdays, graduations, showers, weddings and just hanging out. I'm sure Jesus welcomed you with open arms and as you always told us "rest in Jesus arms" and we will! You'll always be in my Heart and all the memories also ! Love Joani & Bill

Ginny & family,
I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you. I know she is with our Heavenly Father now. She was truly a woman that loved and wanted to serve her Lord Jesus. I also know that dementia/Alzheimer's is a horrid disease and she is healed and at peace now and pray you are.
Sincerest sympathy and praying for peace that comes from the Lord. Isaiah 57:2 was a verse that gave me much comfort when I lost my husband, Ben. Another verse of comfort during his last months was Phil 3:20-21. May the peace that surpasses all understanding wrap you in comfort.
In Christ's Love,
Debbie Johnson
