Salute our Bea who is loved by many, missed by all, who did so much for the individual who always thought of others first before herself and often her family, Bea was the Matriarch of our Family of Lookalikes, Tribute Artists and Impersonators and there will be no-one who can replace her and all that she has accomplished in bringing our Industry together.
Thanks to Bea more of us understand the need for Family, more of us understand the needs and requirements to become a better person, more professional in business ethics.
RIP peace Sweet Lady and continue to watch over us all and guide us, heaven now has a very special Angel.
A Lovely Lady
I only knew you through emails however your positive attitude, friendly approach and inspiring words made us feel like we could reach for the stars.
Take a rest now Bea, you deserve it.

To my cherished friend and colleague
In tribute to our friend and colleague Bea. So infrequently people enter our lives who shine a light so bright it helps us all see our way more clearly. Bea was just such a person. I personally never met Bea, but our friendship was such that we felt free to call one another often. So it was I suspect with so many people. Bea had such a warm and loving heart.
Bea apparently knew of me long before I knew about her. She was aware of my work and of my reputation long before we ever spoke. She had so many friends that if you were in anyway associated with any portion of her interests she knew all about you from information given her by so many sources. She was so protective of her circle of friends, colleagues and associates.
Bea was such a sharing and hard-working person she kept us all informed about the many changes to our industry. I have kept nearly all the extensive correspondence we had and all the monthly newsletters from just about the beginning. I shall cherish her words of encouragement as well as her advice regarding so many areas of interest. Her writings and her wealth of knowledge will be so sorely missed in so many hearts and minds.
Bea accomplished so many triumphs in her lifetime, so much so I am sure many of us could never imagine such feats and through it all she remained approachable. She may not have agreed with your view but she remained interested in the viewpoints of anyone she came in contact with. This was so much a part of her magic touch in life.
Several tribes of American Indians hold the belief that as long as your life, your accomplishments and the love you shared with your fellow human beings is remembered and spoken of then you never truly die. Bea will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who ever knew her. No monument could ever be as enduring as the place she herself has carved into our lives.
Rest my friend for you above all with your hard work and charitable view of life deserve the eternal rest and peace of the cherished souls.
THANK YOU BEA!!!

In the world today, I do not think any one person can personally affect as many people in their lifetime as our Bea did in her lifetime.
As I review the hundreds of emails I have received since sending out the notice of her passing, I have come to the conclusion that, even though I knew Bea's compassion and caring for all of us, I did not really have a clue as to the reach of her opened arms.
How a woman can touch so many lives and make everyone feel like they were special is something I do not think any of us will ever truly comprehend. Effecting our lives like no one before and no one since will ever be able to do, Bea was amazing in her untiring love and devotion to every single person who reached out to her.
At Bea's funeral Gary Alan talked about the dash between the date of someones birth and the date of someones death and pointed out the the dash represented the time a person lived on this earth and that what they did during the dash was what was truly important. Bea Fogelman's dash is filled with unselfish gifts of love, knowledge, compassion, advice; gifts of unsurmountable value for all the years that God blessed us with Bea's presence on earth.
In her own way, Bea was a unstopable force who took people by the hand and led them to the light.
She united us and flooded our lives with love and understanding. She showed us how we can make a difference in the world and taught us how to agree to disagree but still love each other. She taught us how to achieve our own personal goals and in doing so, assist others to achieve their goals instead of achieving our goals at the expense of others.
I do not know anyone past (and doubt in the future) who will have a fuller dash.
Bea truly was one of a kind and all of us who loved her will miss her greatly.
My prayer is that we never forget her lessons and her love and that God will give her wonderful Leo and her family as well as we, her friends, who loved her the strength to carry her legacy on for generations to come.
If I know Bea, that won't be hard as she is most likely telling God how things should be done and making all the angels in heaven form a network to assist us for eternty.

Thanks Bea!
Bea,
Thanks for your warmth and kindness over the many years I grew to know you. You really were the fabric of our industry and special to many. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your lovely family.

Our own "Queen Bea".
It is a great shock to learn of Bea's sad passing.
She was a shining beacon within the world of our niche in show business and her warm & generous support, exceptional care and sound advice will be greatly missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her and were privileged to feel part of her "global family" here in the UK and Europe.
All of us who have lost a much loved member of our family know, and can share the pain of Bea's family and closer circle of friends, but I hope that they (and all of our world wide community) can find the strength to celebrate the long and exceptional life of a truly wonderful, much loved and respected person, as well as suffering the deep sadness of her loss.
As one who had the privilege of corresponding with Bea from this side of "the pond", I give thanks and remember her with pride, great affection and profound gratitude for all she did for us as individual talents and for the industry in general.
With very best wishes and sincere sympathy to Sherie Rae and all of Bea's family and friends.

I first met Bea, at the Impersonator Show she put together with so much zeal and hardwork for one person to replicate. She was a kind and wonderful person who left a lasting impression on anyone who met her. She not only crossed International boundaries but erased them.She was a purveyor of talent and she herself was innately talented.She was always so helpful on the phone or in person.
God Bless and keep you, Bea. I know the Angels are fluttering their wings in applause.
Thank you Bea, for a life so worthwhile.
I know I speak for so many of us when I say Bea made us each feel like one of her own. She truly loved our business and cared so deeply for the personal and professional welfare of all of us. Her infectious energy, love and enthusiasm will stay with me, I'm sure. I never personally met Bea, but I bet she was a hugger and would make you feel like one of the family, from the get go. Thank you Bea for your time with us. And remember....you've got my number!! Cheers forever, Rick Larrimore
To the head of our family
Our Dear Bea,
You created a family of entertainers from all over the world.
Because of you work I regularly talk to fellow entertainers all over the USA, Canada, Germany and of course here in the UK.
We all feel special that we belong to this fellowship that you gave us.
Having performed for you in Vegas you made us feel so welcomed you put on the most excellent shows and put us in touch with fantastic agents and bookers.
You brought professionalism to our industry, you made us respected and understood.
Your enthusiasm, conviction and energy are an inspiration to us all, you gave us the drive but most of all you gave us the enjoyment and rewards that we deserve for our tribute to the famous entertainers that we impersonate.
Your hard work you put in will live on for many years in the future.
We will miss you Bea.
God bless you and our thoughts are with your immediate family and all of our family in the tribute world.

I am reflecting on what our "family" has been expressing and I must say that we are all of one thought: we have lost a truly marvelous human being, one that always thought of others first before herself or her family. Nothing else matters. Bea Fogelman was the Matriarch of our Family of Lookalikes, Tribute Artists and Impersonators and there is no one on this planet that will ever be able to replace her and all that she has accomplished in bringing our industry together. Now, even after her passing, she has brought us together, closer than ever before. We are a relatively small community and I am so proud to be a part of this business. Thanks to Bea, more of us know about more of us. Thanks to Bea, more of us understand the need for family. Thanks to Bea, more of us understand the needs and requirements to become a better person, more professional in business ethics, just more!
I know that this Grand Dame` is still watching over all of us, her children that she breathed life into, her grand children that she nurtured, her husband Leo that she doted on each and every day, Bea is guiding each and every single person on this planet that she touched with her kind words of encouragement, her lessons on dealing with issues and her persuasiveness and steadfastness to make our industry the best that it can be.
Salute, Ms. Bea! You are loved by many, missed by all and I, for one, thank God that you were a part of my life, assisting me with promoting The Reel Awards and Celebrity Impersonator Convention, being a sounding board for ideas and concepts, pushing ever so hard to get an agents organization started. I will move forward with IATAP, the board members that were elected will begin working on making this organization one that you can look down on and smile, knowing that the seed you planted will bear fruit and make the tribute artistry industry a magnificent tree with strong limbs and branches!
So long, good friend! Continue to guide us with your wisdom! You will be in our thoughts and prayers forever.
