Pryor Scrapbook Bessie Mae, 2008

\ ' Miss Bessie Mae - I remember as a new queen in Regina, in 1998, you allowed me into your home. I learned SO much that day! It will forever stand out in my mind as a day I learned of time-tried love as you cared so lovingly for Dr.Joe. You talked of your younger married years, and your service as a young wife and mother. I felt truly blessed to have spent that short time with you, and I honestly think back on that day as one of lessons learned and promise of good things to come (I, as so many have, found my true love at Harding!). Thank you for all the lives you have touched by simply being who you are. Your example will resonate long after you have forgotten those you have touched. May God make this memorial day of your blessings to others a beautiful one! And may you be blessed as much as you have others.
