My dear big sister,
You were more than a sister you became my second mom. You were my rock. All I had to do was call and you made everything all right. I will miss you terribly but I know you are home.

You were good to everyone-you were there for us. I’m proud to have had you as my sister. I’m looking at the clock…it’s 6:30…I would be talking to you…..
I love you Bea & will never forget what you were in my life.

Aunt Bea…
You’ve brought so much joy to my family over the years. You were always quick to make a snappy comment or a clever joke. I find solace knowing that the memories we’ve created, will never fade. Love you always.
