I was an aide in Reflections up to a year ago, and cared for your loved one on a regular basis. She was a special favorite resident of mine, and we had many special talks. She loved and thought the world of her husband and boys. I really would have liked to have gone to the funeral home to express my condolences in person, but was out of town. You all have my deepest sympathies, and to know that Bea is with her Savior and her "Bubby" now, as she has told me many times she was ready to be, I hope is a comfort to all of you. She was a special person. My condolences and prayers to all of you. Penny

@Aldrink You don't know me but I knew your Mom from Sunset. Bea was so dear to my Mom (Jean Vander Ploeg), they sat together at meals and in the afternoon, she brought so much joy to my Mom. Prayers for your family.
