Janet, Bronia and families,
I’m so sorry for your loss.
When we were young our family enjoyed many hours sharing activities with your family. I have cherished memories of your parents. Thank you for sharing with our family.
My sincere condolences to the family of Beverly Eames. My Mom and Dad rented a small home from Bev and Dana in Weld where they spent time summers. It wasn’t long before a special friendship developed. Dad and Dana worked to renovate the home and shared a love of gardening; not to mention a story or two. Mom and Bev found they had much in common; grandchildren, family, and friends and more! I looked forward to Bev and Dana visiting Mom and Dad in Florida and attending the dinner when Wilton folk gathered in Florida. Bev always entertained with musical selections.
I visited Bev prior to her moving from Wilton to Phoenix. We talked of wonderful times on the lake in Wilton as well as times in Florida. She shared her family happenings and her eyes sparkled talking of her family. She knew she would not be returning to her home but accepted age as a part of God’s plan. I am blessed to have known her and shared in her life.
My heart goes out to her daughters as I know how difficult it is when our Mom passes. And, to all family and friends, our lives are richer for having known such a precious lady. God Bless
