       “In late April of 2019 I left treatment in South Florida to go back home to Philly. I remember the first time I saw Beata. As I was leaving the center she was coming in and I remember thinking to myself that she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. One week after going home I ended up on a flight back to South Florida and back into the same treatment center. In early recovery it was difficult to be honest and to trust other people. It was scary being halfway across the country and feeling like I had nobody. As I was able to gain some time clean I created a support network and a few of those people were absolutely vital. Beata and I spent a lot of time together and we were able to be honest with each other. There were many times that I felt like I couldn’t keep going and I would make plans to leave and go back home. Every time I was ready to give up Beata was the one who would talk me down and bring me back to earth. She was honest with me and told me exactly what I needed to hear instead of what I wanted to hear. I wouldn’t have been able to stay clean without Beatas support, love, and her friendship. If I didn’t have her in my life I wouldn’t be clean today. I wouldn’t be a father to my son. I wouldn’t be a son to my parents. I wouldn’t be a brother to my siblings and honestly I don’t think I’d be alive. I have a memorial tattooed on my arm for her for that reason. After I moved back home we stayed in touch and always checked in with each other. We were always there when the other person needed it. The other night I had a dream of Beata and I don’t remember the entirety of it. What I do remember is being in a car and we were going to a meeting. We were in the middle of a conversation and then I woke up. I was disoriented because it felt so real, but once I realized that it wasn’t real a wave of sadness came over me like I lost her all over again. I think about her every day and how much I owe to her. Without Beata I don’t know where I’d be but I definitely feel like I wouldn’t be alive if I never was able to have her friendship.”

I first met Beata Kubiak when we were both around 16 years old. Although our first couple encounters and conversations weren’t too great, we later became best friends and realized we were so similar. We used to laugh about how we couldn’t believe we disliked each other and to tell you the truth I still can’t believe that! Beata and I met at a time in our lives where we were both struggling deeply with substance abuse problems and seeking help for ourselves. In the facility we met in, we cried, laughed, and most importantly built a beautiful unforgettable fher.

When I first met Beata I did not expect she would become one of the closest sisters I had ever had in my life. I can always recall one of my biggest admirations about beata was her faith in god, no matter what was going on in her life, good or bad, Beata remained true to her faith. Beata had a light in her eyes and soul everywhere she went, she was able to draw in everyone around her with a sparkle she held in her.

She was downright beautiful. People have always said their dear ones can be described by being able to light up the room they walked into, and when I tell you Beata didn’t just light up a room, no, she completely radiated in that room. At the time, Beatas beliefs in god confused me and the way life was in my book was, there was no god. And if there was a god, I was bitter and angry with him then, and I would say he was a vengeful irresponsible father. Why would a god let all these horrific things happen to us I would think. Using drugs and substances at an early age the way we were, led me to put myself in traumatic situations I was angry about and still struggle with today.

I didn’t understand how people like us with darkness in our lives could actually believe there is a so called god out there. I later learned, through Beata and some of her teachings that the bad has to happen sometimes in order for the good to happen.

There can’t be good in life to appreciate well enough if you’ve never experienced any pain. I believe Beata was blessed with the gift to teach others and awaken some lucky ones that she crossed paths with.

Beata was sent into my life through god at the perfect time for a reason, this I am sure of. Beata was patient with me. She never judged me, she never criticized me, she would just speak on it at times. I listened but didn’t give in right away to what she taught me and our other friends. Through God, it seemed as if she always had the right things to say. Beata would convince me to go to bible studies with her in the facility, and slowly but surely I began to open my eyes to what was going on.

Friendship with Beata, was one of the best things that had EVER happened to me, she led me to have realizations and spiritual experiences I don’t think I would’ve ever been able to attain without her. I began to understand and find myself agreeing with what she would say. God used Beate and gave me everything I have today to believe

And that, is something so precious and beyond any price I could ever repay her for. We continued our friendship outside the facility and we even lived together. I was blessed for beatas friendship and love, she stayed true and loyal to me no matter how many times we argued. After all, I considered her a sister, and sisters do argue. Beata was a fighter, she fought long and hard on her addiction and she wanted to attain a permanent sober life more then anybody.

She remained true to her faith no matter how bad things seemed to fall down for her. I loved this about her. Beata was funny, she was intelligent, and she had a captivating heart. She would do absolutely anything for those around her. times and also not so good times, when life separated us we kept in touch. I missed her dearly, but life and god put me into another state. I remember feeling sudden urges to reach out to her at certain times.

We used to have several She loved her family and friends. We spent everyday together for months and we had great conversations together about heaven. What it was like, how blissful it must be. Beata would speak of heaven sometimes and tell me how amazing it has to be. She used to say how she couldn’t wait to get there one day when it was time for her, how she couldn’t wait to feel utter peace and serenity there. When I found out my best friend passed away November 26th, I was angry and mortified with her.

I would cry randomly at times for months on end, I still do sometimes. I miss her more then I could ever possibly put into words. Although, Beata is where she wanted to be and dreamed of. Conversations with her mother allowed me to realize this and find peace in that.

She is resting and smiling above us now and I’m able to look up and know she is right where she used to speak about. I will miss and love her so much til the end of time and I am at peace with the fact that I will see her again in heaven one day.

Thank you beata and thank you god for allowing her into my life to be my best friend. She will never be forgotten in my heart.

I am so thankful we crossed paths and shared an unforgettable friendship I will always cherish.

Beata was one of those people who could enter a room and instantly change our mood. Our mutual friend named her Sunshine precisely because of this quality. While there were still jokes and laughter between us, it was obvious that he was serious about his recovery progress. Its spiritual side was second to none. When I decided to undergo treatment for the second time, I felt as if I owed it to Beata and other people who had lost their lives due to addiction.

Even in the process of recovery, Beata played an important role in inspiring me to a clean, healthy lifestyle.

Even after her death, she played a very important role in inspiring me to improve myself once and for all.

The most beautiful soul that has ever appeared in my life. People may say she was a drug addict, but no one can deny that her smile brought peace and sunshine into our lives.

She showed me love at its worst. She opened my heart to Jesus at a time when I did not believe in Him.

I am grateful to have met her.

She may not be with us anymore, but she will live forever in my heart. Her presence is always felt wherever I go.

She is the reason I believe in Jesus today, tomorrow and forever.

DEANNA SELA

Deanna was one of my best friends.

She was lovely, joyful and always smiled like in this photo.

Unfortunately, but she became another victim of addiction.

She died on June 10, 2017.

I met Beatka thanks to the Friendship which the Lord connected me with my beloved Sister in Christ, her mother, Ania, whom I met immediately after my conversion to the Lord.

Ania was for me and is my support in literally every situation … She took an active part in my path to freedom in Christ … It was her that the Lord used to explain to me the nonsense of praying to „Mary” and the need for baptism by immersing me in the confession of my faith in Jesus as Savior.

I was going through a turbulent time in my private life then and when I met Ania (on the evangelistic website) I would not think of what she is struggling with in her private life and what difficult experiences she has experienced in the past, also with Beatka.

When she confided to me that her daughter is addicted to drugs and fights for freedom from it, I was full of admiration for God that he gave them both enough strength not to cease in this fight.

They were dramatic moments of sadness, despair, discouragement, but God was with them all the time, he gave hope, lifted, comforted … warriors for the good of loved ones.

I do not know another mother like Ania and I do not know another person who, being in a deadly addiction, praised God, believing that He could free her from it.

And I believe that the Lord won this battle, and Beatka is now waiting for the Marriage of the Lamb as a saved child of God covered with His justice.

Although we do not understand the many situations that we face in this life and it is difficult for us to come to terms with them, the story of Beatka and Ania is a great testimony to me that God keeps His children close to Him and that no extreme and difficult experiences are they are able to disconnect them from His Love.

Beatka and Ania are a testimony of continuing trust in God, despite the most painful experiences that a person can have in this life. Because I don’t know if there is anything more painful than the long-lasting daily struggle for freedom and the highest good of your child.

I am sure that God won this fight for Beatka. And despite the fact that she fell many times, she still held on to the hand of the Lord because she knew that He alone was her only salvation.

She had no hope in her body. She only hoped for God’s salvation.

Isn’t that what true faith in God’s Power and Mercy is?
