My Sweet Aunt Bessie, I wish words could express how much I love you. I think one of the hardest things for me was hearing you had been placed on hospice, I immediately started to cry, walked to my bathroom sink to wash the tears off my face, as I looked up into the mirror my eyes look back at me, it was like looking into your eyes, those greek "Daras" eyes, you could only imagine how hard that made me cry. I will always admire the energy you had for life, the way you treated strangers, the way your voice sounded and how you would say "honey", the way you teased my Dad(he deserved it) ,and what a tender heart you have. I think you are a beautiful soul inside and out. I will miss you Private Eye. Heaven just became that much more beautiful with you there. Please watch over us. I love you...Your niece forever, Melissa

To Eddie and family,
What a delightful lady your mother and grandmother was. She was kind and gracious and always welcomed us into her home. We were blessed to know her.
