Melissa, David, Lauren & Emilee, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Grandmother. She must have been an extraordinary woman; serving our country, raising a family – I would love to hear some of the stories – her life must have been very interesting. She sounds like such a wonderful Grandmother; I’m sure you loved her very much . The moment I read her birthdate I felt connected – it is the same as my mothers. I know God will be with you, His peace – His presence – His comfort knows no bounds. In Christ’s love, Terry Karas & Dan Ault Anthony Lombardi Erma Lucero
You were such a wonderful woman and huge inspiration in my life. Words can not even begin to express how much I loved and cared for you. I can only hope that one day I can become half of the woman you were.
My deepest condolences to the family. Bea, as her son Tom used to call her when we were in college, always was so excited when Tom would take me home with him for a weekend. Bea and Al always treated me like another son. They were wonderful people and I know they are missed. My prayers are with the family during this time. Stan Gwinn; college roommate of Tom Dalesio
Meredith, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss. May peace be with you all…. Sincerely, Alisha Shelton
Melissa & Family Moe & Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Your Grandmother was a very wonderful woman and will now be watching over all of you. May God Bless you and keep you in his loving care, Don, Darcee, Shaylee & Deedra Groves
During your time of lost, I pray that God will cover you and your family with His grace and love.
Melissa and Michael & families: My thoughts and prayers are with you as your grandmother was a wonderful woman and took great care of your Mom, Donna, who I treasured your Mom’s friendship so much. I’m sure Bea took great care with the rest of her family as they passed. I have so many good memories of your Mom, Donna, and grandmother and with you Melissa, Michael and Trinity. God bless you all and may He keep you all close to His Heart especially during this sad time. Love & Blessings, Penny
My most sincere condolences on the passing away of Aunt Bea. I am Jennifer (Leonard’s daughter)and live in New Mexico. I have good childhood memories of being at Aunt Bea’s house and playing with Donna (she and I were a year apart). I hope these words will be of comfort to you … “Let us not be sad for having lost her, but glad for having had her.” (words of St. Augustine on the death of his mother). This thought comforted me when I lost my mother.
Meredith, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I didn’t know your dear Mommo, I know what it feels like to lose a treasured grandmother. They hold a special place in our hearts don’t they? My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Meredith, I know what it is like losing a grandparent- treasure all of those memories!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!!
Meredith, she looks like she was a very kind lady with those beautiful blue eyes.
with much sympathy,barb and horace
