    As I browse the slideshow of photos I feel like I’m watching bits of my life passing by. Some wonderful trips down memory lane and nice to see Auntie Bea in all the phases of her life. While I hadn’t seen her for many years, she looked just the same.
    Rest well Auntie Bea.

    Much love to David, Diane, Cheryl and Elaine and their families.

    I remember Bea from Dining For Seniors, as they (Jimmy ) sat at the same table as Don Adam’s and myself. She was very pretty and had a great smile.
