“Aunt Bebe”– such loving memories in my childhood with my “Grandma George”: PICNICS (My Dad & Grandpa Bromley's favorite) blessed by their famous cooking; Cousins Patti & Jerry growing up together; Home Restaurant– My Dad at the grill & fryer, Bebe at the cold station, Grandma baking her famous pies & rolls; I started washing dishes at 14 & then waiting tables along with Patti & eventually Sister Kathy. “Aunt Bebe”– how our 3 sons loved & remember the stories she'd tell of their grandpa growing up. Thanking God today for those memories in which Aunt Bebe was apart of my life. Praying her family to know the Lord's steadfast love does comfort them. Ps 119:76
Jodi, we are thinking of you and your family. Our warmest condolences,
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Arlene will be missed
I knew Bebe from her being in my brother's class at Geneva High School, class of '41. I knew her to be a great person and somebody I always enjoyed seeing. She was a good friend of my sister-in-law, Betty Thompson. Many fond memories from days gone by. She'll be missed, I'm sure.
Bebe was my very first Sunday school teacher when I was 4 years old. My great grandmother, Bertha Breckinridge, worked in the Home Restaurant for many years and after her death in 1965 Bebe always made a point to tell me little stories about her and to say how my much she admired her. I appreciated that so much. I am so sorry, Patti, for your loss. I will remember you and your family in my prayers.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. My family had 3 generations working with her at the restaurant. She was such a kind and caring person.
