Tenderly may time heal your sorrow.
Gently may friends ease your pain.
Softly may peace replace heartaches.
And may warmest memories remain.
My condolences to all who knew and loved "Grandma Bea" she was such a kind and fun loving soul; that and her beauty remain in the hearts of the whole family!
Love and best wishes for peace for all of you!
My deepest sympathies to the entire Meyer Family. I have so many great memories of long conversations with Bea at her home, at restaurants and at the swimming pool. She was a 2nd mom to me when I was in high-school and a friend for years after.There are so many "firsts" I experienced with Bea and the Meyer family, boating on the river, learned to water-ski,countless perfect evenings on the sandbars of the Mississippi, and my first trip to Northern MN to name a few. Bea had an open heart and beautiful smile that always made everyone feel like part of the family. I am grateful to have known her, and feel blessed to have called her my friend. I'm thinking Bea is smiling for she is with her high-school sweetheart once again and heaven became a little brighter.May you find comfort in your memories and hope in your faith. God Bless.
