Although I knew this day would come, I am taken aback by how much I miss you.  You were the sweetest, kindest, most generous mom a girl could have and I am so grateful I got to be your daughter.  You loved all of us unconditionally and we felt it.  I was always in awe of your many talents:  sewing, painting, doll making, genealogy - none of which I inherited but admired!  Love you always!!

Momma Bean lived her life well. She prospered in the precious things. She was humble regarding her talents and treasured her family and friends. Her smile came from her heart, and it warmed my heart every time we were together. Momma Bean always treated me like family. She inspired me to be a better person. Thank you for the many happy memories of a lifetime! Your love lives on in us.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since you left us. I miss you everyday but I know you are with Dad and Larry so I know you are happy. We’re all good so don’t worry about us. Love you mama ??

Happy 92nd birthday mama. I hope you are celebrating in Heaven. I miss you ?? Please continue to look out for all of us and guide us. Help us to know the right thing to do- especially with the CaBean. I love you ????

So sad I lost contact. I have so many memories and besides Jenny being my childhood friend, the Beans were my second family. Love to all and May Mr. & Mrs. Bean rest in peace with my mother and father.
