Bessie was not only my cousin but I always considered her and her sister Christina my sister since I did not have one. Words can not describe this beautiful, selfless person that had a heart of gold and a smile that would light up the room. Our lives will never be the same but it gives me comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and she sitting on the right hand side of God.

Bessie will be her families angel and guide them through difficult periods of there lives.

We miss her dearly and I have made it a point to try to live my life only half as good as she did.

I love you!!!!

Bessie was taken by God too soon. She was a lovely person and he wanted her by his side. She will be missed by all who new her and loved her.



I still have a note she wrote me in high school. I dont know why I kept it all these years but every time I came accross it, I could not throw it away. I still have it to this day.



I hope God gives Gus,her son Niko, and the rest of her family and friends the strength to get through this sad and difficult time.



May her memory be eternal.



Much love and sympathy

I was very sad to hear that Bessie has passed away.



Bessie and I were both in the "old" Macedonian dance troupe back in the days when we were teenagers.

When I look back at that particular time in my life, she is one of the people taht I can truly say, that I remember fondly.



She was a sweet girl, with a big smile on her face, laughing and dancing with me and the others. That is how I will always remember her.



May God bless you and comfort you in these difficult times and may her memory be eternal.



Fondly,
