 It was a shock to hear of the death of my very dear neighbor Bea, who had passed away.  I can't believe it. 
We have been neighbors for over 35 years and I had always looked out my kitchen window and saw her .
We were together for so many fun times on your boat and celebrated Joe and my 50th anniversary, what a fun day it was. and also several get togethers with  fond memories.  She will be deeply missed.  May God Bless her and now rejoicing with God, free of pain.  Don, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this loss in your life.  Love and prayers Rosesemary Leone

I extend my deepest sympathy to you Don, and to your family.  We have been neighbors for over thirty years and all of us at Island View will feel her loss.  Although we didn't see each other often, when we did get together at condo picnics or meetings,  it was always pleasant.  Beata was such an attractive woman and she had a very warm and welcoming smile.   Most of the neighbors were outside when we had the fire in our complex the summer before last.  The firemen gathered chairs and put them in the carport so the women could get out of the sun.  Beata and I had a long conversation that day and her number one topic was you, Don.  You have written how madly you were in love with her.  I assure you, your love was returned by her in kind.  You and Beata's marriage was one of those precious and rare  unions that grew and was nourished by your love for each other.  You will miss her, but I hope that loss will help you realize how precious and how fleeting life can be.  You are a lucky man to have had so many years of happiness.

I have been recalling our childhood, and remember how close we were  then -Aunt Beata and Uncle Dave moved from Landsdown Street in Detroit,to a new home that Uncle Joe Shulte helped them build in Roseville, about one mile from us.  We attended Sacred Heart School, and saw each other on a daily basis, and on Saturdays,met at the Roseville Theater, for an hour of cartoons,three features, and several serial, such as Flash Gorden, and Buck Rogers.  Sundays we saw them at church, or met at Grandma & Grampa Trombleys house in Detroit.  WE often spent time out at the cottage on the 
Clinton river along with other familys, the Conboys, the Patcheks, the  Jeskeys,the Duffeys, and had pot luck dinners.   We grew apart after graduation, but would meet at picnics and weddings, and other family gatherings.  
Bee will be missed by all, especially her own family, but will still live in the memories of all of us.  I am sorry to say I cannot attend her memorial service, but will not forget her,  and will keep her in our prayers.

Don....meeting you and Beata on Mackinac Island many years ago turned into a great friendship boating on the agreat Lakes with you and also great times in St Clair.   We will miss our many fun times playing cards with you both, that was the best.  Also our Christmas get together at Lelli’s.  Beata will be missed by anyone who knew her.   Our prayers are with you and your family. 
Love, Bill and Bertie

Our deepest condolences to Don, the boys, all family and friends. Bee was molded by the lord to be one of the best and it's comforting to know that she is by his side.

It was a great honor and privilege to know Beata.  Our thoughts and prayers are with entire Kehrig family during this difficult time.

We met Beata and Donald on our 10th wedding anniversary when we traveled with them and another couple to Greece. What a wonderful time we had and our friendship has continued throughout the years.  Beata impressed everyone as a first class lady even when boating on a warm summer day. She always had a cute story about one of her children or grandchildren when we were together. Generous and God loving, she will be missed by us and many others.

You are looking at girl of my dreams, God created this fantastic woman for me & me alone, I was the most fortunate man on earth to call her my girlfriend , my wife & my life long Buddy Bee. She gave Hope , Love, Faith every day for almost 60 years of  marriage , giving all each day to make me happy. Please God, keep her happy for all eternity until the day when I will join her.

My first cousin Beata Ellen was always admired by me as she was pretty, friendly, and fun to be around when my father, mother,  and I visited them.  Otis, was her uncle,  her mother was his youngest sister.

Bill and I want to send our sympathy to Don,  and all the family who she was so proud of.

To her siblings,  you are all remembered as a wonderful family we all love. We realize how difficult it is to lose your sister.

Beata was a nice person to be around. Sensitive, caring, interesting and would never interrupt you when you were speaking.  I really didn’t get the chance to spend all that much time with her because I live out of state and was in the Navy.  She is already missed!  We love you Beata.

My Aunt Bee was a gem of a person in every way possible. She always led by example with her grace, class, thoughtfulness and devotion to her entire family. Her three sons, their wives and all her grandchilden have lived by her great example and it shows by their words and actions every single day. You could always count on Aunt Bee and Uncle Don to be there at every family function, and I have always felt supported by them even when we have been apart by time or distance. I am consoled by knowing that Aunt Bee and my mother Elizabeth are now reunited in heaven. My mom loved and treasured her oldest sister so much.  My condolences go out to my beloved cousins and my uncle Don who is suffering the loss of the love of his life. They were such a fantastic, loving couple and lived their lives to the fullest. I will always cherish the memories of my sweet aunt and love the Kehrig family with all my heart. Rest In Peace, Aunt Bee. You are so missed already.
