I love you so much Grandma! You will be so missed, we'll see you in Heaven soon and very soon! :) So glad you're not suffering anymore!
This is my beautiful mother. She will never realize how much she will be missed. I am so glad that I was with her until God took her home. She was at home with her family where she wanted to be. God Bless her and may she rest in peace. Her daughter Ruth Null
I love you so much Grandma. I sure am gonna miss those Angel-food Cakes. Thank you for ALWAYS being a beautiful strong woman of God. Your Christ-like example will never be forgotten. - Micah Riley
Aunt Bessie,
As a child , I never could understand why you wanted us to go to church morning and night.I realized a long time ago, why. I owe my salvation to my God and you.I believe he worked through you . If it was'nt for you I don't know where I would be . You were the only one (on my dads side) that showed me you cared.I am a better person for that.I love you and will miss you. Shirley
I'll never forget the good time we had working together. Bessie was such a good person. We spent many hours talking about the Bible and what was going on in our lives.
I'll also never forget Bessie's excitement over her first date with Norm.
Trula Mercer, friend
