Bessie Carolyn Hajek James

Bessie, Bradley and Grandma James are all part of my fondest childhood memories. I loved to "go to Bessie's" as she would always have treats for me. And as she reminded me a few years ago, I would always ask, "Bessie, you have anything for me?" I especially remember the slices of ham she'd give me and the string of suckers hanging in the kitchen pantry. Amongst my wedding gifts in 1983 lay a bag of suckers and I knew right away who they were from! Bessie will always have a very special...

My sympathy to John Allen, Marilyn and Caroline for the loss of your mother/grandmother. I have many good memories of Bessie and Bradley after being Yorkshire neighbors for nearly 35 years. Bessie was a grand lady--very loving and caring. Condolences to all members of her family.

John Allen and family,
Please accept my condolences on the death of your mother. I grew up living next door to your Grandmother and 2 houses down from your Mother and Father and have many fond memories of visiting them as a child. My last visit with your mother was about 3 years ago. She was indeed a special lady. It was a blessing to have her in my life.
