Grandmother, I miss you. It has been a year since you have departed my life. I will miss you from now to an eternity. God Bless you. I love you Bessie Leona Meade, my Grandmother, my adviser.

My sympathy to all the family for the loss of your beloved Mother and Grandmother. We only learned of the passing from another family member. We do not receive the Bristol paper and were not aware of the death. Aunt Bessie was a very special person to me. As most of you know, she was my Grandmother's sister. I spent many wonderful Sunday afternoons after church with her and her family. My love to all. Cousin Bettye Ireson Newald
