Bessie Proctor

Dear Mark & Alan,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom,Bessie
Bessie and Sam were a big part of my life growing up in Gainesville at B'nai Israel.
There was no better conversation in Gainesville than with your Mom & Dad and your mom was just a great person to be around ,Bessie and Naomi were quite a tag team back in the day .
The oneg shabbats at the end of friday night services in the original Bnai were legendary and the recipies in the cookbook were the best...

To Mark and Alan, your Mom and Dad impacted all our lives. They were are parents away from home and our mentors. Marlene and I cherish each moment spent as part of the "Proctor family". Florida TEPS have lost their true "housemother".

Marlene/Stu Blumberg and the hundreds of TEPS whose lives were enriched.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Proctor family. I was born only a hundred yards from Sam and his family. Sam and Bess were always a part of the Shorsteins. Both meant so much to Ann and me throughout our years in Gainesville and after.

Ann and Harry Shorstein
