Bea and Bob lived in many locations throughout British Columbia and Alberta, and were blessed by the love and friendship of so many: too many to mention here, who we know are mourning with us.
Everyone is invited to come and celebrate Bea's life at G.F. Oliver Funeral Chapel, 225-15th Avenue North in Creston BC on Saturday November 5 at 1:00 pm.

the family would like to thank the Kaslo and Nelson RCMP officers who attended the accident and in some cases stayed with her. In addition the family would like to express a heartfelt thanks to the staff of both the Nelson Regional and the Vancouver General Hospitals for the wonderful and compassionate care they provided Bea. We would also like to thank the many friends and family who have provided continuous love and support for all of us during this most difficult time, with a special nod to Sheila Sanders and Ron and Shirley Jacks who provided extra comfort for Bea and the rest of us by being there during Bea's short stay in the Hospital.
remember our Mom with the passage from Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken";
I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...
I took the less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
