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.

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.
