To all the family: What a wonderful, kind woman Bea was! It was always such a pleasure to be around her. My heart felt prayers go out to you!
My heart is so saddened by the news of Bea’s death. She was truly an angel placed on this earth. I taught with Bea many years ago. In fact, she was the person who taught me so much about children. She can now be with Warren and that thought will give us much peace.
Our sympathy to her family!
Blessings,
Debbie & David
No greater love is that than the love of a mother. Bea Bailey there are no words to express the joy and love you have brought to my life. You were a mentor, witness, and example of how Christ expects us to treat each other and there was never a better expression of how much family should mean to each of us than you. Emily and Mikaela adored you, and Roger and Glenn will truly miss you. You know how I feel and I confident that Warren, Wilmer, and Lorraine were waiting for you and are truly rejoicing. The fab four together again. With all my love and thanks – Penny
I know Heaven has another angel. Bea was such a wonderful friend and sister-in-law
I am going to miss her so much.
Roger and Penny sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Bea was a very kind and sweet lady and I am honored I had the pleasure of meeting her. Treasure fond memories and keep them in your heart. She knew how much she was loved by you all let that be a comfort to you. God Bless and keep you strong.
I did not have the opportunity to meet her but have known some of the family members for a little while now. All of my prayers and condolences to all of her family. She will look down on us all with love and good will.
God bless you all.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this time of loss. May God give you His peace and strength during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear of her passing. Such a kind and thoughtful person and a great Aunt. She always made you feel better just talking or seeing her. She missed Uncle Warren and Wayne so much. Now she can be with them. She was such a good listener. But we will miss her so much. I had such fun at her house when I was young. She could really make great Strawberry shortcake too!
Sympathy to the family. I have always liked Bea. We used to play softball together. She always had that great grin of hers to welcome you.
My thoughts and prayers are with Bea’s family during this sorrowful time. May the many happy memories that you shared with her comfort you during the days ahead.
Bea,
You lived a life full of Kindness and Love to all. Your faith in God substained you through the hardships of life. This Faith was very evident in your final hours. God rewarded you with strength and courage to express your love to all and prepare you for your journey Home. Rest In Peace
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6 – May God place HIS healing hand on your hearts and may you know Rose is now in peace and rest with our Lord and Savior. God Bless you all – The Krechman Family.
Roger and Glenn, So sorry to hear about your Mom. May She Rest In Peace and is now with the angels. She was a senior when I went into the Seventh Grade at MBHS. I always remembered her as I did with so many in that class. My condolences and prayers are with you.
To the Family: I have fond memories of time spent with Bea and Warren. Bea was such a wonderful person loving and kind. I was sorry to hear of Bea’s passing my prayers and thoughts are with the family.
Heaven has kind wonderful person. She was my sister in law but more like a sister. I loved her dearly.
She always had the ability to make you smile or laugh when you were around her. She will be missed by many.
Dear Family, I was very sadden to hear about the passing of Bea. We worked together for a number of years at Lexington Park Elementary School, she was my para-professional. I enjoyed her presence and learned much from being with her. After her retirement we kept in touch. We exchanged cards every year during the holidays and in April (We shared the same birth month.) We spent a lot of time on the phone talking and laughing, long distance, reminiscing about our experiences at school, life, and the joy of family (she loved you all so much) I enjoyed our conversations and our friendship. I will truly miss my friend. Penny, thank you for the call. May God bless each of you. Your friend, Annie Wilson.
