    I want to extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences to Bea’s family, my prayers are with you all. Bea as I called her has been my friend since the early 90’s. We became very close, she called me sister, my kids called her Auntie. I have many fond memories of her, we got into mischief together, hung out all over the place, and always had fun! Bea loved to laugh, was a great cook, was very sociable, and loved meeting people. She was proud of her sons and adored her grandchildren, she would share stories of them all the time. I met her sons several times and they were always polite and respectful. I am sorry to hear of her passing, I will miss her dearly. I knew she went to Thunder Bay, I called her once, she had no clue who I was or why I was calling. I decided not to call again because I did not want to cause undue stress or agitation. Bea was a tough ole gal, we’d joke about that, she wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself ever! I admired that about her. I always prayed for her, and now I’ll keep the family in my prayers for the difficult days ahead 🙏🙏 RIP my beautiful friend and sister Bea ♥️♥️

    My heartfelt condolences to her two sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the rest of the family. I wish the family peace and strength as you remember her. Bea was my good friend for many years. I lost contact with her before the pandemic. I remember she loved celebrating her birthdays, she would cook up a storm with a good spread of food and she would play some good old reggae tones we would dance too. She was kind, generous, and a great cook, and she knew it! She will be missed. RIP Bea and fly high! Peace and Love.
