Miss Bessie I sure hate to hear of your passing. I so enjoyed our talks about mamaw and your improvements you were making on your home.... I remember that when I visited you in the nursing home you always remembered me and was so grateful to have company. I'm sorry for the things you had to endure here on earth, but I know you are rejoicing now with a new heavenly body!!! I will be happy for you but I will be sad to not be able to go back in time with you and our conversations....... with much love
