Who took in the needy and fed and cleaned him like he was family?
Who treated all equally, no matter what skin color?
Who sat by her child's side, when she was downtrodden and sick?
Who loved her kids more than ever imaginable?
Who cried tears of joy when the house filled with family on holidays?
Who was so wise; so bold; so true?
Who could cook like there was no tomorrow?
Who knew so much about life, but never pontificated.

I love you Bessie, then, now, and forever. You taught me so much in my life!

Miss you, luv you/sharon & ikey
