Sal and Jackie,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, just got into town and just read the notice. Bessie will always be in my prayers, the days she use to sing to me, David and Joey on the way to school and play those "corny" classical songs. Little did I know that those would be my very favorite as an adult. She truly introduced me to them!! My Mom use to say, "that Bessie makes those piano keys sing"!!! We all loved her so much. I will miss her sweet smile!!

Sal, Florine and Jackie,

I am so sorry for the loss of your Momma. When you lose your Mom, a piece of you die too!! Bessie was a wonderful person. I remember her taking me, Joey and David to school every morning and we would HAVE to listen to her classical music as she sang. Joey would look at us and start laughing because we were her CAPTIVE AUDIENCE. Little did I know that I would grow up to appreciate her wonderful music. My Mom use to say down at Don Bosco, "Bessie played today and boy did she make those keys sing"!! My Mom, me and my family loved her very much. What a precious soul she was. I love you guys.

I will never forget Bessie or stop missing her. She was like family to me always. When I was going through chemotherapy she looked after me and made sure I was taken care of. She entertained me on the piano when I was down emotionally. I know God has a very special place for Bessie in Heaven.
