Mr. Hattemer, Bruce, Michael and Denise.

My deepest condolences on the lost of Bea. I remember her well from our days at Holy Rosary Irish and recall my mom working with her on several projects. What wonderful people we had around us growing up. I hope my kids have a Bea in their lives some day. Take care.

Dear Howie, Mike and Family,

We are very sorry to hear of Bea's passing, though we know that she has gone to God, and her recent earthly trials are over. We wish we could be there with you, but know that she, and you, are in our prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathies and be sure of my prayers. During my time at Mendel Bea certainly taught me what it meant to be a good priest.
