Grandma, words cannot express the emptiness my heart feels now that you are gone. I love you so much and I have some many great memories! I will miss our daily talks...I rarely missed a day talking to you!!! You were my best friend and will forever be in my heart. Love is not the appropriate word to describe how I feel about you but it will have to do for now...I love you Grandma...Love Always, Wendy!!!

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the family upon the loss of your mother. Mrs. Bessie was one of the kindness person I have ever known. No one who knew her could ever forget her friendliness and warmth. I admired her greatly. I will never forget the many acts of kindness Mrs. Bessie extended to me. Please call me if there is anything I can do to help you.

Message from Eloise Edwards

Dessie, Pearlie, Dorothy Ree, Lillie, Agnes: It saddens my heart to hear of Cousin Bessie's passing. I know she is happy now that she is with Sister and they are laughing and carrying on like they used to do when they were together. Know that she is in a better place and would not come back if she could. Prayers are with you and we love all of you. Eloise and Louise
