I always loved visiting GA. Nana and Grandpa would take us to your house and you and uncle Frank were the best! Wish we had visited more and hugged you one more time! Tell Nana, Grandpa, Pat, and Daddy I miss them terribly!
Aunt Bea and Uncle Frank's home was always full of love, laughter, good food and kindness. Growing up, it was my 2nd home and I was always so eager to visit. I can still hear Aunt Bea when she would say "aw Frank, you just shuckin". I still remember the look on her face when as a young lady in my 20s, I walked into the Three Sisters Beauty Salon with braids in my hair :-) ... she was mortified :-) and quickly proceeded to persuade me to press or perm my hair (which by the way, I didn't) ... :-) ... Thank you Aunt Bea for all of the memories ... Thank you Aunt Bea for everything. You will live in my heart forever. Family, I am so sorry I can not be there with you. Rest assured, you are in my thoughts and prayer.
Love Always, cousin Priscilla from Boston MA 10/10/20
I will always remember her fondly as a positive and very loving guiding force in my adolescent development in becoming a young lady, she will be very much missed.
We Love you aunt Bea and we gonna miss you from Cedric and Rebeca and our family
