A Bible Quoting God Loving Fearless Prayer Warrior and dear friend of mine. Never short on words or afraid to speak her mind and never passed up an opportunity to witness for her Savior or teach a life’s lesson. Bea was never a complainer and made the most of every day no matter how long or hard or undesirable. A true testament on how one should try to live. We spoke daily sometimes more and I will miss our conversations and weekend visits when possible. Bea, you have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith Godspeed Dear Friend you will be missed…Deb
I loved Bea so much. I had lost connection with her. I missed her. I wish I could have told her.
