l remember your mom so well through the years. When we were teenagers, many parties were held at your house and we behaved like perfect ladies when she was around. She made us all feel so welcome at your home.
Then after nursing school, I came home to QGH and worked with her there for many years. I learned from her and may have offered her some bits of advice too.
She was a lovely lady and you were lucky to have her for so many years. You will have lots of wonderful memories!
Sincere condolences.

I can only share my deepest sincere sympathy for the loss of your mother. Bessie was a true treasure, the most beautiful flower in a garden that stood out higher than the rest. The six months I got to know Bessie and grow to love her she truly showed me what life was really about and taught me so much. She showed me how to do needle work and even though she couldn’t do it her self last going off she found so much enjoyment in watching me do it. She will always hold a very special place in my heart that will never go away. Ill hold the memories we had close forever. I’d like to thank Bessie’s family for allowing my self and a great bunch of girls for getting to know and work with Bessie. May you find so peace in knowing your Mom was a wonderful woman who is now flying higher than the clouds and dancing with Lloyd in the stars.
Nancy Cameron

Over the years we visited Aunt Bet many times and talked on the phone often. We had also done the same when Uncle Lloyd was alive. We were able to visit them/her more often when we came to the old Wagner family homestead in Port Mouton. Now that we live in Ontario it has been harder to visit, but we did spend an afternoon with her in the Summer of 2012 when we were vacationing in Nova Scotia.
She was Barry’s last remaining aunt, and the last of her generation in the family.
Condolences to the family,
(Nephew) Barry and Marilyn

We love you Grammy. You will always be with us.
Thank you everyone for your kind words.
