We've know the Bess's since the 80's and have lots of wonderful memories of our times together on Kauai and in Tillamook. We will miss our dear friend. Mary was so brave, and never seemed to complain. We're sending our love to the family, so sorry for your loss.

We will always remember Mary with great fondness. She welcomed us into her Kilauea home many times, which generated evenings full of fellowship and hearty laughter. Her earthly travails are over, and we know she is in a better place. It was a privilege to know Mary, and we send our prayers to the entire Bess family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. We know you are now in a wonderful place. Aloha, The Trombley/ Neumann Family.

We remember Mary as a tremendously sweet and loving lady...always exuding the light of her Lord. We went to church together at Kapaa Missionary Church during the years she was in Kauai. We can imagine her now travelling on those streets of gold with NO infirmities to hinder her. Our prayers are with her family as they miss her presence. Carole and Domi Ragsac

Mary and her husband, Bill, have been our friends for 43 years. We have witnessed Mary's patient struggle with infirmities since 1982. She was always a wonderful wife, a caring mother and a dear friend .We will miss her.

We knew Mary through our time together at St. John's Church. We will remember her as a kind, caring and delightful lady...one who faced her physical adversities with faith and courge.

She was an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know her.
