    Bob,
    I am thinking of you at this difficult time. I know it is hard to let her go. But what a wonderful marriage you had. What a blessing…… When you feel like it come by Park Meadows and have lunch with me. It would be good to chat.
    By the way, this is a great picture of both of you.

    Kathy

    Once again Bob, June and I are thinking of you, and you are in our prayers. It was great to know Bessie when you lived in Chanute. Hope to see you soon.
    Your friends always,

    Terry and June Cathers

    I know working in my field you are not allowed to have favourites. But Bessie was mine. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to care for her. Her joy, and very cute Georgia accent always made my day. Thank you Bob and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
    Love Naomi Parr

    It is through the grace of God that I had the opportunity to meet both of you. I thank Him that we have become friends. I know that He will give you strength right now and when you need it most. I have not been able to attend her farewell events. My health is not where it should be, but remember I am with you always and will be in touch as soon as possible.

    From the picture you can tell her sweet spirit never left. It was not something she put on but her very nature.
