Bea's favorite moments in life were her children and grandchildren. Her grandchildren were the loves of her life. She loved babysitting them when they were young. She loved to cook and loved family gatherings.

Bea loved to cook and wherever she went, when making new friends her favorite thing to say would be, 'I'll make you some tortillas'. She loved cooking home-made mexican meals for friends and giving home made flour tortillas and tamales to friends and family.

Thank you, Mother, for everything, we love you.
