As I am sure that some of you know, my grandmother Bea Hendee passed away a couple weeks ago. It has been a very trying time for everyone in our family and I was very sad to see her go. She will be missed a lot. My aunt sent me this photo of My Mom, Grandma Bea and Grandpa Wendell Hendee. I want to let both my grandparents know they will never be forgotten. RIP.
Here are the comments from her Guestbook:

Aunt Bea: a great lady; loving, caring, giving, thoughtful, generous. Growing up she was more like a big sister than an aunt, always available for good advice and guidance. She loved her family above all. Reunited with Uncle Wendell and at peace and out of pain. I love you, my dear aunt, and I am will miss tremendously

Dave and I will sorely miss Bea. We volunteered together at RRMC and she was such a sweetheart. I have and will not watch Dancing With the Stars without thinking fondly of her.

Bea was a tenant of mine until I moved out to CA. Just recently, I ran into Bea at the post office & she saw that I was pregnant. She was so happy. She just loved my son, Ben when he was a child. He is now 18. We were so happy to see each other again, I made sure she was invited to my baby shower. Unfortunately, Bea ended up not going but she made a great effort to stop by my work with a card & money for the baby. We hugged good-bye & she told me she loved me! I was just thinking of Bea this week & wanted to bring by my baby daughter, Addison Rose for them to meet & I just heard of Bea’s passing. It broke my heart. I’ll miss her very much but I am so glad that I saw her again.

Bea and I started volunteering at RRMC at about the same time. We grew to know each other then as we learned our way around the hospital and continued to work together through the years. I will miss her warm smile and caring ways.My deepest sympathy to her family.
