Dear "Dad" and Lynn,



Even though I only knew your wife and mother when she was ill, I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to take care of her. Bea was a wonderful woman and I could tell that from the first time I met her in KCCC. There will always be a spot in my heart for her and you. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and forever. Love always, Lysbeth, SN (Super Nurse)

My deepest condolences to the Pounian family. My mom and dad, Doris and Leo Sternberg, lived at 4900 Marine Drive in about 1961 and I remember fun times that we had - myself with Steve when I think we were in Goudy kindergarten, and my brother Mike with Lynn, in 2d or 3d grade. Although we were there only for a year, mom often spoke fondly of Bea and the Pounians after we moved to Deerfield, and wondered how you all were. Again, my deepest sympathies.

This feels impersonal to sign a guestbook online, but I am unable to attend the services for Bea and I do not have her address. My condolences and sincere sympathy on the loss of your wife and mother. I worked with Bea at PP&J for 12 years. She was a very lovely lady. My fondest memory of Bea is coming to work in the morning and having her give me a smile and "good morning." I also used to love when she would invite me to the fashion show every year. We would have a lovely time and I still have fond memories of those events. Even though I haven't kept in touch with Bea since the firm dissolved, please know that I will miss her and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
