Happy Anniversary! Today would have been 65 years. Miss you every day, Mom.

Mom:
I can't believe it has been 2 years already. I feel like I just saw you last week. I think of you every day. Pretty much everything reminds me of you. :-). Sending my love to you in heaven.

Dearest Granny Bea it would be your birthday today. Seems just yesterday I was in Baltimore celebrating your birthday. I remember how we used to watch a crime show when everyone had gone to bed, you’d pull out some eclairs and we’d discuss the science and mathematics of the case. Your last birthday you let me know it was going to be your possible last so we had extra wine and shared our memories from times long gone. I’m glad you were my Grandma, I was so fortunate. 

Happy birthday in heaven, Mom.

Winter is upon us. Throughout the summer, and occasionally now, I have seen cardinals. Every time I see a cardinal, I believe it is you watching over us. When I see a pair of cardinals I believe it is you and Dad watching over us. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love you.

Today marks Mom and Dad's 64th wedding anniversary. Cheers in heaven, Mom and Dad! We miss you every day. Love, Ben, Beata, and Simon

Bea was am amazing woman--so talented. She was an excellent cook and shared so many recipes with me. She was an amazing gardener and artist. Her flower cards are beautiful!
She worked on Aunt May's diary which is a history of their life in Cape St. Clare through the 40's and on.
We had so many good times together, trips to Maine and Nova Scotia, Wintergreen and North Bend. We laughed and drank wine, gossiped (a little ) and talked about cooking, memories of life in Bolton Hill, and what was happening to Brown Memorial and those lovely people we knew!
I will miss her dreadfully , but now she is without pain and with her loving TED.
