I will always remember how happy Bea was when she moved to Tuscan Villa. Her apartment was so pretty with all her angels all over. Now she is with God and the Angels. We will miss her. May she rest in peace.
To a loving aunt, whose zest for life and great laugh always brightened the room. Rest in peace with Uncle Tony. You will be missed Aunt Bea.
Rest in peace Aunt Bea, I will never forget you. You and Uncle Tony were a part of my life growing up and I thank you for your positive influence.
