I wish I had known you better, Miss Bess, but I'm glad for the short time I was able to spend talking with you about flowers and gardening. The gardens you helped build at the Mini Rise are a living testament to your knowledge and love of all things green. You were a wonderful Christian woman and I know you will be missed. Rest in His peace. Bren
