I remember going to her house when I was little she made me laugh and it was so fun at her house I will miss her laughter and her love

I remember all the fun I had to her house laughing and acting goofy and now I will miss her laughter and her craziness

Bess was a sweet friend to me during our elementary school years and junior high days in Franklin. What I remember about her most is her constant willingness to help others. What a kind person! Vonda Brooks Etter

Dear family,I knew Bess from school. She was a sweet lady who loved you all very much. I hope you will allow God to wrap his arms around you all and comfort you now and always! Remember that the great enemy, Satan, is the reason for bad things. God will be your strength. John 5:28. Please know you are being lifted up in prayer. May you be comforted by your precious memories and love.

Wes, Ken & I very sorry for your loss. He was just heartbroken when he saw this on FB & wanted you to know how sorry he is & that's he's thinking about you. Let us know if we can do anything.

So very sorry to hear of your loss.John 5:28,29

You are and always have been there for me, I love you more than anyone will ever know., from your example along with my Dad, Grannie, and Grandpa Harrison you raised me to work for anything I wanted in life, that it wasn't just given to you. And so much more, I love you Aunt Bess and my Heart burns bright from Family Pride.. I will always carry you with me.

So sorry for your loss. Went through high school with Bess and then kept up with her where ever she was managing restaurants. Loved her.

My childhood will always hold memories of you, Bess (back then, it was Bess Ann)...we lived across the street from each other....you and were kindred spirits when it came to animals! We had pups who were brothers - your beautiful white \Micky\" and my Lassie look-alike \"Pal\"....I don't even remember not knowing you. I thank God for you Bess and the kind loving person who was my friend.

sorry for your loss. we have lost another classmate a young age

we have lost another classmate it is so sad we r losing people at such a young age .i am sorry for your loss.

Her smile and love of life had a ripple effect because of the tenderness and wisdom she passed along to the next generation.Your spirit will continue to permeate every one large and small.

Bess was a dear sweet friend and a very special \sis\" to me. I have known her for over 45 years and the memories I have I will forever cherish. She had a heart of gold and she could also put you in your place. One of the things I loved so much about her. She was honest caring loving kind and the most giving person I know. I love you Sis! Fly high sweet Bess and this is not goodbye. We will meet again some sweet glorious day. What a day that will be! Hug your Mom Dad and Johnny for me. I love you sis!"

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, and would like to offer my condolences. During this difficult time, I hope you may find comfort in the future promise of Revelation 21:4, which says that soon all suffering, pain, and death will be no more. Until that time, know that the God of all comfort is with the brokenhearted and those crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).

I went to High School with Bess, graduated the same yr. (1976) You will be missed so much, Bess! You are now up in Heaven with Johnny, & the rest of your loved ones who have crossed over. It has been a long time since I last seen you, but you will never be forgotten. Rest HIGH on that mountain, & rest in peace with no more suffering with pain! Love ya girl!!!!!

Bess was one of my Forever Friends from long long ago I love you very much Bessie you're with the angels now and out of pain.
