Dear Manny, Mary and Chris, I was saddened to hear about Bessie's passing. She was quite a woman wasn't she..... strong, independent courageous, a fighter, and full of memories that she loved to share. Manny and Mary I thank you for all of the kindnesses you showed me on Bessie's behalf while I worked and spent my days with Bessie at the BayView. She was my daily challenge and we grew to love and respect each other with a lot of tears and laughter on the way!!!! God Bless you and your family at this time.
