Was sorry to hear of Mrs. Wilson's passing. She was such a nice person and a good neighbor when she and Mr. Wilson were my neighbors. I'm sure she had a happy , productive 92 years. MerleJameson

I will really miss my sweet Aunt Bessie. She was an inspiration and blessing to me and also my mom. I'll never forget the Ashburn reunion and how happy she was to visit with others. She was the highlight of it all because of her sweet personality and compassion for others. Please know that you are all in my prayers during this most difficult season of your lives. I love you all!
