Everyday that goes by I miss you more.  I’m not sad because you’re not in pain, I’m sad because I can’t have you with me.  I love you Mar!  

I know that I have to find comfort in knowing that you’re finally at home with the Lord, yet my heart remained heavy realizing that I will never hear your reassuring voice. You have mentored and treated me like your daughter and I will cherished that forever. We shared so many fun memories while serving in the Church. You showed me how to be kind but firm,  humble but strong and most especially to be generous in service to the Lord. Miss Rita, I respect and love you tremendously. I thank God for putting you in my life and lighting my path with your wisdom.

My heartfelt condolence to the family whom she treasured with her whole heart. She left a piece of her in each one of you. 

Matthew myself and our boys are saddened to hear of Aunt Bee's passing.  Both of our children took their first real steps in her and Uncle Dave's living room.  We will always remember that. 
We are comforted that now she can see Matthew's mother, her beloved sister Lourdes.  Our hearts and prayers are with the family.  

My heart is very heavy today after my Great Friend Bea went to be with The Lord , when I lived in Pensacola I always remember the great times going over her house to spend many Thanksgivings with her Beautiful Family that I felt part of . I always loved talking with her . I will miss her deeply , Dear Lord please comfort her Family during these times . Until we meet again Bea , Rest In Peace with the Lord.

My heart is so heavy.  So many memories come flooding back.  LOVE is the most persistent of those memories.  Nana Bee was full of love.  I remember the strong, quick-witted, fearless woman that would visit Guam and spend time with us... Even during typhoon season with one on the horizon, its winds whipping every coconut tree in sight.  On the rare occasions I was able to visit with her,  it felt as if no time had passed.  The familiar feeling of family was always thick around her.  I've admired Nana Bee and family for their strong connectedness and I will sorely miss her presence on this plane of existence.  Until we see each other again, Nana Bee.  Love, Mary Beth

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to our family in Pensacola on the passing of our dearest Auntie Bea. Though we are far away from you, we are praying for you.

Let us pray for the happy repose of Aunt Bea Knight. Eternal Rest Grant unto Aunt Bea . O Lord, And let Perpetual Light Shine Upon her. May she Rest In Peace.  Amen 🙏 
Love,
Jenny Ann, David Cruz  and our kids  Julie, Ronnie Boy and Jessica.
