A Little Something About Beatrice

My son walked into the house from a few hours of work for his dad. He had talked to Beatrice one night and she was so embarrassed or was it shy. He took time to chat to her on Skype. I had explained how much she had been through. She giggled and he laughed. Then after he left she said you quit trying to fix me up with your son cuz I love Eric. I think it was Eric . Anyway it was Sherry Jo's son. (Musichead) My son walks in today and said look what I found in a car today when I was cleaning it. A tiny pure silver angel!!! Shes so tiny and so pretty. I will always carry her with me because she reminds me of Beatrice.

She was always happy and laughing when we talked. She could talk for hours and hours. I would say now Beatrice I have to do something or the day will be gone and I did nothing. She would be off talking to someone else or hosting a game on a game site or playing a tourny or trying to get others to sign up. I would give her dollars to play then soon she didn't sign up. I'd say why aren't you signed up. I'm broke she would say. Well wait a sec, then go check your account and soon she would be signed up. I used to dread seeing her play at my table in VictoryPoker. She always took my chips. She was aggressive and you never knew what she had. She finally admitted to me she bluffs once in awhile.

She would say check out this website. Do you think so and so would like this as a gift. I said its kinda expensive. She said I don't care its my money. It sure made her feel good to send gifts. I sent her something from the Cancer site for her birthday. A silver bracelet. She wasn't good at recieving gifts but she sure loved giving them.

Lets face it, Beatrice was a great part of the forum and a greater part in our lives. Even tho many of us never met her we loved her like she was a sister. Many friendships are made here online that will last a lifetime. Beatrice is an inspiration to us all. She has left foot prints on ALL of our hearts. She will never be forgotten. I will grieve for our little sister and never forget her. I will miss her giggle and her voice. I wish I had met her to give her a hug. She will always be a part of an old womans heart.
