Bessie Garland Obituary

There are special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone. Ms. B. was that special person for me. We do not remember days, but remember moments, and the moment I met her, I knew that we would always have that friendship, love and connection, as though we had known each other all our lives. I always would say, one day Ms. B, when I grow up, I want to be just like you. She was a strong willed, vibrant, loving and funny woman, who you couldn't help but love. It is said, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened, so I smile through my tears, thanking God that I had one last chance to talk to her, to hear her voice. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. My mom went home to be with the Lord many years ago, but in meeting Ms. B, I saw her in so many ways through Ms. B's laughter and love for her family and friends. To her family, may happy memories replace the sad in your heart and may faith uphold you during this difficult time. Much Love, Joy

Sending sincere prayers to the family of our dear friend Bessie Garland. She will be missed but never forgotten. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

We knew Bessie through her membership at New Beginnings Christian Fellowship. While she was in Seattle we considered Bessie to be one of our special friends. We loved her pleasant ways and beautiful smiles. We have missed her presence. Condolences to the family.

Bessie you will be missed, did not realize our phone call before Christmas would be our last call. Keeping your family in our prayers.

Sending prayers and my condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Bessie Garland.

It brings such Joy to be a part of The Celebration of Life for our Beloved Sis. Bessie Garland. We send Love and Prayers to her family and look forward to sharing loving memories with them. Sis. Bessie has been such a Blessing to our Church Family, especially our Senior Connections Family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Garland through my friendship with her daughter Audrey and granddaughter, Ashlee.
I always looked at her with aspiration because she was beautiful inside and out, kept herself in good shape, intelligent, kind, wise and witty. I would look at her and hope that I could be like her as I grew older. I am sure she left this positive impression on many others as she did with me. What a long and impactful life she lived. She will be sorely missed.

I was very honored to be Bessie´s neighbor. She was a delight to know, and so easy to love. I´m going to really miss our adventures; but I know the joys she´s experiencing now cannot compare to any of our escapades. RIP Bess! You´ll always be one of my most precious memories.
