We are sorry to hear of your Mother's passing away. We were out of town when it happened and were unable to be at her services. My comment to my daughter was Well, she is rejoicing now. I loved her. She was definitely one of my strong role models throughout my life. Our thoughts and prayers are with her entire family as you learn to live without her.

Growing up, one of my favorite things to do was go to Aunt Tiny's house and play with my cousins. And what I remember most about Aunt Tiny was her laughter. I can't ever remember seeing her angry. She found humor in the little things and enjoyed life.
David Miller left a message on October 21, 2012:
Bea, whom I always referred to as my 'aunt Tiny', was a terrific Christian lady who raised three wonderful Christian boys (my cousins). I remember Tiny as always cheerful, kind-hearted, and a good cook. Her smile will be missed. But we are all comforted knowing she is in Heaven, where we will see her again, some day soon.

Bea was my mentor, my go to person when I had a problem, my friend. She set me straight many a time. I loved her so. I've missed her counsel. Our paths have been different. But I will get to spend as much time with her as I want someday. I love her family. You will be in Bill and my prayers for comfort as you grieve. But not as one that has no hope

I know that we called Bea Tiny and Genevieve Biggie. I just “switched” them. Sorry.

My thoughts and prayers are with Billy Don and Benny Ray (that's how I know you guys) and your family today. I loved your sweet mother. She had an infectious laugh and it was always a joy to accompany her when she sang It's Not An Easy Road with Jo Fraser and Velma Ruth Wood, all Christian ladies who had such a wonderful impact on so many at Coahoma Baptist Church. You are singing now!

Judy Kelley left a message on October 17, 2012:
Bill, From all the things you shared with us about your Mom, I knew she was a beautiful lady. That beauty comes from within and now God has taken her into his care. You will miss her always but she has given you time to take care of yourself and your family. That's what Mom's do. They love and care for their children, sacrificing for them just like God does for his children. I pray for you and your family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Bea was the best friend and sweetest friend and we all loved her so very much.
