Pam & Dewayne,
I truly wanted to be at Bea’s service, but i will be traveling to Nevada to greet a new grand child. Please accept my condolences on your loss. We have been reading the Bible for about 2 years. She taught me a lot faith and the power in God and Jesus as our savior. I will miss her terribly. I do have comfort I will meet her again. Sincerely,
Cindy Bishop

Her party is over here on earth but the party in heaven has just begun when she and Jerry start meeting up with all their old WP cronies. Will always remember her with giggles.

My sincere condolences Pam and Dewayne. Bea stepped from this life into her eternal life with Jesus, from a Christian point of view that is the ultimate blessing! I have many fond memories of Bea from back in the day…such a sweet lady.
