Just received this message at 9pm Jan. 8, 2011 Richard, Bhavani, We wanted you to know that Bea died this evening at about 6:00. Her passage was peaceful, and she had been aware and responsive up until the last few hours. We are so glad that you were able to come down and spend time with her while she was still able to enjoy a quality visit. We are discussing the possibility of a memorial and dispersal of ashes in the not too distant future and will keep you informed of a date and place. We really hope you can make it. Jan, Caleb, Jennifer.
