Too loose a mother is the greatest lost there is, but keep your head held high knowing she's at peace in God's arms.

Aunt Bessie was one of those aunts that took no stuff off her nieces and nephews. She was a kind a lady, but at the same time a no nonsense type of person. She had the growl of a Lion, but the heart of a kitten. she always made you feel welcomed, and was never to busy to give you a hello. Aunt Bessie you will be missed by so many family members, and friends. You are loved by so many. To my cousins may God give you the strength to see each other through Your cousin Nette and family
