My heartfelt condolences go out to Beatrice’s family as I found her to be a wonderful person. I met her in a drawing class at Western back in or around 1996. We immediately became good friends and we also shared projects together in class. One time the class was instructed to make a drawing with a partner, then sit at opposite ends of the room and try to focus on the partner’s mind and what they had drawn. Beatrice and I were paired up and believe it or not, I read her mind (she drew a lamp in a room up against a window), and she read mine (I cannot remember what I had conjured up). In the meantime we had fun…then I remember when she fell on some ice and broke her arm. She still attended class even though it was evident that she was in pain and could not draw too well. The entire classroom of students got together and helped her open doors, lift up heavy drawing boards and even helped her dress herself with her coat when she left the room. After that year, I only saw Beatrice twice, while she was walking downtown to her apartment because after that I left London temporarily for York University in Toronto.
I feel quite honoured to have known Beatrice as she always came across as a calm, peaceful person with great strength of personality…she was always friendly and willing to listen to one when they approached her…but most of all her artwork was just wonderful. She drew and painted in her own style which is quite comparable to the late Grandma Moses…I even told her so. I hope the family will enjoy all the wonderful things that she left behind and I will never forget her friendship.

Please accept our condolences for your Mom, Beatrice. The last time that I saw her was the summer of 1992. We met her @ her lovely little condo. She invited us up and showed us around. She seemed so happy and adjusted. She was truly a lady. My Mom, Jean Malcolm also sends her respects. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Rudy, Lorna, and Lindsay,
Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences for the passing of your mother. She lived a full life and raised four great boys, whom she was very proud of. She was also an inspiration and a role model to many when she went back to school at a late age to earn a degree. Quite a remarkable woman!
