Bessie was the Betty White in my life. Always had something to say and it was usually mixed with just the right amount of sass. Full of life and a spit fire. I was blessed to have known her.

My Aunt Besse Jane was a sweet soul. We would drive from Springfield Mo every year for many years to visit family in Lincoln. Always loved visiting and feeling close to family. So sorry for the loss. Wish I could be there now.
