A Tribute to Bea Gaddy

An Angel Among Us

By DC Moore

I never met an angel. But I did meet Bea Gaddy. this small, black woman of momentous character was the epitome of what can only be described as Heavenly. I never met an angel, but I met Bea Gaddy.

Bea Gaddy was a lady of charm. Her smile  was warm and pleasing to the sight. her words were soft-spoke but commanding and yet very pleasing to the ear. When she spoke people were drawn to listen and they obeyed her wishes because they knew it was the right thing to do. i never met an angel, but I met Bea Gaddy

Bea Gaddy gave away everything and never asked for anything. this giving included her life. She gave to the needy and she gave to the poor. She gave to the ones we sometimes call worthless. She valued those "worthless ones" and made them feel special. She gave until she had no more. I never met an angel, but I met Bea Gaddy.

Bea Gaddy fed millions of people that were in need. She clothed and loved them. She cared about the needy more than she cried about herself. They can never repay her for the hard work, the prayers, the giving, the love, and the devotion. They never met an angel, but they met Bea Gaddy.

Now Bea Gaddy is gone. we will never again see her pleasant smile or hear her sweet voice. Will we never know if she knew how much we loved her? Will we be able to carry on her legacy? Will there still be a day to be thankful now that she is gone? We must be thankful for the time we shared with her. 

Let's be thankful that God had allowed us to have Bea Gaddy among us and be thankful that we are able to cherish the memories of her. Her teachings of love and kindness to every and anyone, especially the "worthless ones" will forever be embedded in our hearts and souls. i never met an angel, but I met Bea Gaddy. Angels are supposed to watch over us and teach us the right way of doing things. Angels remind us of who we rare and who we should be. Angels are divine in nature and are of the purest of heart. Angels are God sent and they walk among us, some in disguise and some that are invisible but present. Bea Gaddy was among us and her presence will always be. I never met an angel, but then Almighty God, I met Bea Gaddy.
