Here lies Bea
At a Hundred and Three
In the place she vowed
She'd never be
She always swore
She'd never die
Till all who bugged her
In the grave would lie
She hung on tight
To the very end
No foe was left
For flowers to send
Let's raise a glass
And shed a tear
She sure raised hell
While she was here!

Granny Bea will not go gently into that good night! You'll be feisty and full of beans 'til yer called back Home! ~ which will be heaven's gain and our loss!

Yer a hoot and a half ~ and a total delight! I want to be just like you when I finally grow up!

Love & Christmas Light,

EA
