Mrs. Bissing was just an absolute doll. Always happy and positive and welcoming to me. Always was so elegant and classy and well dressed. She was just a joy to be around and even though I didn´t get to see her that much the last few years she always was someone i felt close to and happy that she was around. I´m sad today, especially for my friends who lost their wonderful mother, but I´m happy she is with her husband and friends and her God and I hope to see her again one day. God bless her and her wonderful family.
