Mike and Bea were more than just neighbors. We played many games of cards with them over the years. Mike and Bea were unique. Mike told us about reading books that his grandchidren were reading. He wanted to be able to talk with them and know what they were talking about. We had many visits from Bea after being in the hospital. She was there to comfort you and make your day just a little brighter. My condolences to the family

Mike and Bea were so special to my husband Steve and to Mt Hope. Mike was in many plays with Steve and they always had such a great time talking in between waiting to go on stage. Bea was one of the most beautiful loving people we ever knew. Today they are in heaven together. They wil be missed.
