Dear Dick & Karen, Sheryl & Larry, Don & Debbie, Karee & George,



Aunt Bessie had such a zest for life. I very much enjoyed her phone calls these last few years. Because Judy and I were in California, I remember out visits with your family in SLC so fondly. All of the aunts and uncles would play poker while we kids got to run around outside and in. I know that you must be thinking of the reunion of all the family members. Bessie was a great gal and lived a wonderful life even though there were moments of heartache.



With all our love,

Dear Dick, Sheryl, Don, and Carrie:

What a great and wonderful person you Mom was! I loved her dearly, and so enjoyed going to lunch with her and my sisters. Living in St. George I'm not able to come for the services. I will miss being there today, but I'm sending my love and best wishes to you all from me and my family. Sheryl, I have such fun memories of coming and staying with you for a few days one summer.It was so fun! If any of you are ever in the St George area please give us a call. We'd love to see you. Bessie was one of the most positive people I know, and her zest for life was so much like our mother's. It is sad to see her go, being the last of the Parry's.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Love, Annie and Cal Babcock Family
