Words could never express my deepest sorrow to you the family and to all her friends. Bessie will be greatly missed by us all!
I had the priledge in getting to know Bessie when I was complex manager for seven years. Even after I had given the job up we stayed close. We would sit and talk for hours out in the gazebo along with our other neighbors. The smiles and laughter that we all shared are priceless, I will forever cheerish those memories.
For those of us that share the love for the Lord we have the peace of knowing that we will see Bessie again. Until that day I know she is sitting in a golden gazebo with our Lord and Savior.
In loving memory of a wonderful person and until we meet again, we will love you and miss you always.
Love and Prayers,

Darlene Castor
