Condolences

Condolence From: Kathy Lombardo
Condolence: Mom is and will always be the sunshine in my life.

Her smile brightened up a room regardless of difficulties she faced. Those who knew her know how contagious that smile was. She loved being with with family and friends. Loved working as a volunteer at Cox South for many years and missed meeting new people everyday.

One of her favorite expressions was "Good Grief, Charlie Brown" and used it frequently. When asked what her plans were for the day, she would say "I think I will just sit here and look beautiful". That is and what she was, a beautiful, caring person. She was my mom.

I miss her so much and love her even more, but know that she is in a much better place. The Lord gave her as much as she could handle, and has given her peace. She is finally going home. Much love goes with you.

Condolence: Bess was such a wonderful, sweet person...always a smile on her face She always treated me as one of her own and I thought of her as my "other mom." So glad she was part of our lives. You will forever be in our hearts. I know she is just sitting up there just lookin' beautiful and hopefully enjoying a nice glass of brandy. Love you & we will miss you!
