I'm so sorry to hear that she is gone! I've been her hair stylist for a few years and she always brightened my day and was a great listener and friend. Thank you Bess, I will miss you!

Love, Peace & Prayers to one of my very favorite sewing friends. We took alot of classes together in the past. You were a gem. I hope they have sewing/embroidery machines in Heaven. Save me a spot at your table. :)

Suzann, Roy, Mike & Julie, I have so many fond memories of Bess growing up. She was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed reconnecting with her through facebook in recent years and miss not seeing something from her. My thoughts are with you all through the difficult times ahead. Hold tight to the memories.

Growing up on Edward St, Bess & Roy were like my third Grandparents. Always there to spend time with, they always watched over my brothers & I growing up! Many fond memories! So sad to hear of Bess passing but I know she was reunited with Roy in Heaven! Thinking of you all during this difficult time..

So sorry for your family's loss... Mrs. B was a very nice lady and always had a smile for us (remembering our high school days!). Recently, I admired her quilting and posts on Facebook. Sympathies to you all. May her memory be eternal.

My condolences to the Bigford family. Your mother always greeted everyone with a warm friendly smile. She was also very supportive of whatever shenanigans we were up too. I know you all will forever hold her memory near your heart.

Roy, Julie, Suzie & Mike~ I was saddened to read about Bess passing away. Of course my memories go as far back as I can remember, but my most cherished memories are the quilted Christmas tree skirt and the personalized Christmas stockings for my family that were lovingly made by Bess starting back in 1965 and continued on as I got married and had children. Every Christmas I always comment on how special the skirt & stockings are to me. Both your mom & dad have always held a special place in my heart.
