We just found out today about Bessie's passing. I also worked with Bessie years at DuPont and remember her as a sweet and kind person. Rhonnie and I also enjoyed her great cooking and I always got a big hug from her when we met. So many of us grew from young adults, to parents, to grandparents at DuPont and became family. It's really sad to see them leaving this life one by one but rest assured I will get my hugs from them when I too will reach my Heavenly home. May God bring comfort and peace to both her family and her "DuPont family" as we have lost a very sweet lady.
Lean was the earthly angel that had a.heart for everyone. She gravitated to children. No one went hungry nor without love. As for Lean, there will be no more worries, pains nor suffering. God needed you to be his heavenly angel to watch over the little children and others. We will truly miss you. My prayers and condolences to the family.
