Bobbie & family: I will never forget Bessie as she was one the sweetest ladies that I have known. Now, Bessie is having a wonderful time with all of those that have gone on before her. May God take care of each of you and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bobbie, I went to the Church Hill reunion and I was so sad to not have seen your Mom and Dad whom I have not seen there is a few years. I did see Bubba and asked about you and he said you were working at Memorial. I missed...

Bessie was so loving, sweet and kind to everyone. She didn't know a stranger. She will be greatly missed. God has a very special angel up in the Heavens watching over us all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and my God help comfort them.

Bobbie. You know that I am so sorry to hear of your mom's death. You and I and Bessie, Dani and all the family, have been close for many, many year's. Since the late 60's. No words that I can ever say, will express the love that this family has had for each other, and the love that Bessie had for her family. She will be greatly missed. I am happy that she was there for me, year's ago, and I will miss her. God bless and be with all of you, during this trying time. Bessie is with her beloved...
