    God's garden truly is more beautiful, now that Bea is there. He only calls the special ones during the most holy time of the year. Bea was one of the hardest working, kindest people I ever had the pleasure of working with. I remember the Bradlees days and was amazed at the energy she had. She used to show me pictures of her grandson who is in the Marines, and having met her family, I know she is most proud of all of them. She was truly the best! Rest well Bea for you truly deserve to spend eternity with the Lord. Peace be with you.

  • Enghee Fuentes and Family  - With Prayers for Peace and Comfort
    "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 Your mom was a true blessing to all who knew her, especially, to my mom (Gloria H.). I know she regarded her as an extension of her own mom whom she lost at a young age. She was a source of comfort, and an example of a woman of upright character and virtue for all of us. I am thankful for her life and her memory will live on in our hearts; now she is in eternity with her Creator, God is so faithful! Much love, Fuentes Family

    Dona Marina was my tocaya. My mother named me Marina in honor of her best friend. Dona Marina was an important part of my family's life - like a second mother. She always remembered my birthdays. My brother John always tried to send her flowers on Mother's Day. We will miss her very much. No matter how far away we were, we always tried to stay in touch. Words cannot express how we loved her and will miss her. Our thoughts are with all her family now.
