Beatrice was a courageous person who succumbed to a dreadful disease. Her gentle smile and sparkling eyes always gave me inspiration when Jerry and I would visit with her and Bob on some Sundays when we brought her the Holy Eucharist. Bea was an angel and Bob certainly a saint. May she rest in peace and enjoy heaven above. Blessings to all the family.
