Bea lit up all of our lives......

and I know she is now lighting up Heaven. It is said that our purpose here is to learn to Love unconditionally. If that is true then Bea accomplished more in her short life than many of us will in many lifetimes. She gave us her Love freely and expected nothing in return. I think we all learned from her. Now she is free from the body that let her down. She is free to visit the vast amount of friends she had online. She lives in all our Hearts and she will be there forever. I lost my daughter in an accident 3 years ago. I found the song Fly by Celine Dion and it brought me so much Peace. I listened to it over and over. I find myself doing it again thinking of Bea. I’ve included the words below.

Celine Dion - Fly Lyrics
Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forgetFly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Go now, find the light

I love.....

that they played her favorite songs...she will be missed.

To Cara, Sue, Bea's mom, and the rest of Beatrice's family:

I wanted to let you know I share in your sorrow. I became acquainted with Bea through the Poker Chix and Victory Poker. She was always happy to see me when I was online on the Chix board or during a poker game. From reading everyone's memories of Bea, I see it was common for her to refer to her friends as 'my London' or 'my Kimberly.' And she was right. She stole all of our hearts and we belonged to her.
I feel honored that her special pet name for me was 'her twin.' It started out because we both had a similar poker playing style (ask anyone who knows us! :) ). Whenever we played together, I would root for her and she would root for me. I hated taking her chips but I didn't mind when she took mine, which was quite often.
I cherish the photograph that Cara posted of Bea wearing the Lipstour t-shirt that a bunch of Poker Chix signed, including me. Seeing that pensive look on her face in that picture makes my heart ache but also fills it with joy.
That was the special gift that Bea brought into so many lives. She was an expert at cheering people up, making them feel special, and filling their hearts with joy. That is what I will most remember about her. And since she adopted me as her pretend twin, I feel like a part of your extended family.I will miss her. May her sweet spirit rest in peace.

Love,
Bonita

God saw you getting tired....

God saw you getting tired, but a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come with Me".
With tear filled eyes we watched you fade away. You suffered much in silence and fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage and your spirit did not bend and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired but the cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come with Me".
Your golden heart stopped beating, your smile is now at rest. God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best.
Yes it breaks our hearts to lose you but you do not go alone, for part of us go with you this day God called you Home.

I will always remember how I laughed when we were playing a VP tournament......Bea had raised and I reraised her....she went all in and as always sucked out on me being the luckiest poker player on the planet.....all the sudden I get an IM from her that said....."never ever reraise me again Gyla !" I will miss her, but I know she will be very close by all of us!

Couldn't ignore Bea chatting....

If Bea wasn't in the Chix trnys she was on the rail chatting up a storm..I could hardly keep up with the chat but I couldn't miss a word. She was always cheering everybody on. I even think I timed out a few times while reading the chat.

In the hospitol talking for hours....

when i was in the hospital and bea was in the hospital at the same time, we would talk for hours or untill the nurses would come in and take the phones away from us.We would tune into the same programs at the same time and talk about what was going on.how we like this person or hated that person on the progam.sometime she would lison to my nurse and sometimes i would lison to hers.Mostly we were just there for each other no havey talks or wining justbeing there.
