Bee, You helped make my West Point years a little more bearable and my Mom really enjoyed keeping up with your family over the years. You all are just good people! Your mother certainly played a huge part in who you are! I'm deeply sorry for her passing and your loss. May she rest in peace.

Our son,retired Lt. Col. Gene Griffin, and I were just talking last week about the wonderful family who sponsored him at the academy & brought a ray of sunshine to his time there. Your kindness has never been forgotten Beeland & Laura. I went straight to our photo album today & found you & the girls at Gene's wedding in '87.
It saddens us to hear of your loss. Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time.

BeBe was one of a kind. She was always so much fun to talk with. I was always amazed at her vast knowledge of so many different subjects. She has contributed and leaves behind a valuable legacy with her children and grands. Welcome home Beverly! You will be with us forever.
