Woman Power Wednesday #2 - Our love for BeBe from the grandkids!


Brett: I love BeBe's love for music and how she always hummed the same quiet, calming tune while working around the house. I’ll never forget the anniversary dance we did at our wedding that ended with just Pop and BeBe and how much she smiled and how proud she seemed. She is the best grandmother anyone could hope for and I thank her for always being there for me. I love her so much.

Drew: My grandmother was a true southern bell, inside and out. She’s gorgeous, witty and would never let you leave hungry. My grandmother always took the time to enjoy the details in the simple things in life. A beautiful sunset or a cool breeze were enough to make her day.

Sally: I love BeBe for many reasons. I love how great of a grandmother she was and how she always worked so hard to provide us with the best times together as a family. She always prepared food or an experience with the upmost care in the details. She had the best taste and understood how love can be shown through the little things. I hope one day I can do the same for my children and grandchildren. I love the way BeBe was always encouraging us to learn new things and took excitement in anything we were interested in - whether it was sewing, tap dancing, cooking, playing sports, make up, shopping, Broadway, Anne of Green Gables, anything! She could keep up with our ever changing hobbies and jump right in. I will always love how BeBe could fall in love with tv and movie characters and talk about them in a way that would make you think they were in her family. She loved the underdog and could empathize in the most sincere ways.

Emily: 
Bebe is the person who taught me how to sew and she was the first to inspire me to love New York City. She always had so much patience when doing any sewing project and I love thinking about Bebe’s humming in the kitchen or while doing a puzzle with me and how soothing those memories are. I love how Bebe is always well presented. She is the most beautiful grandmother and always looks gracious and put together. I’ll never forget the time she came with me and my Mom to Savannah for my recruiting visit and the driver of our car turned around and said, “Well look at that- you (pointing at Bebe) spit her out and you (pointing at Cathy) spit her out.” I was proud to be the spitting image of both of them. I will always be in awe of how she handles herself in all situations. Bebe loved the story about the time we danced and danced to rockin' reindeer at Christmas time one year and I loved to hear her tell it and how sweet of a memory that is.


Lucy: I love Bebe because she has been such an amazing grandma to all of her grand and great grand children. She always has everything ready for us and knew exactly how to take care of every child and their individual needs. I love how Bebe loved us to sleep with her in her room. Growing up, always sleeping in her room is one of my favorite childhood memories! I love you Bebe!!


Mike and Cali: I caught up with both Cali and Mike today. Cali loved BeBe's visits to Dallas and said she was a spirited and wonderful woman and she was grateful to have known her. Mike shared that he loved being at the Lake with BeBe and will always remember the food, the fishing, and the large family gatherings.
