Please accept my deepest sympathies. I have many fond memories of trips to Montreal where we went to the casino and jazz festival with Bess. She will be missed very much.

I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed very much. I have such fond memories of the many trips to Montreal with Shirley to visit Auntie Bess where I was welcomed like part of the family.

Your own wonderful memories will always keep her in your hearts.

The words to best describe my Aunt Bess is vivacious, vibrant, a mover and shaker, kind and loving, great sense of humour and my absolute best friend. She brought laughter and joy to the lives she touched.



She is the most wonderful person in the world and I shall miss her terribly.



Even with her illness, she was quick witted and could still play bridge with no problem.



Aunt Bess, I love you to the depths of my being.



To the "boys", she was blessed with the most wonderful sons. Dont you think she did not know it.



May you be spared further sorrow.
