Sorry to hear of your loss of our beloved Bassett. She was a mom to many. She mentored my chidren Barbie and Johnny during a difficult time in our lives. I worked with Bassett as a nurse also. I know she loved her own so dearly and my how your family has grown. I can see her in heaven now telling God all about her children and how wonderful they are.
Our love and sympathy to Bassetts family,
