Hello. I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Bessie. I am a teacher at Milliken Mills HS, and would always ask for her help for one of our student clubs. She was always so helpful, patient, calm, and understanding. I loved hearing how she would talk about her kids too. I am so sorry for your loss, it was an honour to have met her.

Paul, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife Bessie. I am out of the country until May so will miss the visitation and funeral. I am very sorry for your troubles and will keep Bessie in my prayers as I attend the many Easter Services. Bill
