I am so sorry for your loss, and this is truly a loss. I've had the privilege of knowing Bea (Mrs. Atkins, as I always called her) for over 50 years. She was a warm, kind, generous person. When I was in my 20's and moved back to New York from California (leaving all my family behind) Bea never hesitated to set an extra place at the dinner table, even though her family was huge, so I wouldn't have to spend holiday dinners alone. She was always there to give advice and a warm hug. Bea will be truly missed.
