Dear Family, May God comfort you during this time of loss. I can still see Aunt Bessie’s smile and her crocheted creations. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Charmaine
Dear Family. May you find comfort during this time of sorrow, in the memories we share. Her humor, generosity, and the homemade pie’s, cobbler’s. Love & Prayer’s David
We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the entire Johnson family. We went to school with all of the Johnson family. I rode the bus (#10) and always sat with Carol, although I’m sure she won’t remember me (I was just a little one). Carl played football with my brother Dallas. Charlie graduate when I was still a little one. Kathy graduated a few years before me. Though I had never met Mrs Johnson, I did meet Mr. Johnson down at Fishers Big Wheel. No matter who I knew, I knew by the way she raised her children she was a good mother and wife. I wish I had met her. I’m sure we would have been friends. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers and you have our deepest condolences! Shirley and Corky Westfall
Bessie worked with my mother at the hospital many years ago. What a lady — a strong character, a kind heart, and a gentle soul. Bessie made the world a better place. My sincere condolences to the family.
