Bessie and I shared the same birth date, November 25th. Most years, I would invite Bessie to share my birthday cake at E & G Pastry in Elora. Across the street from the Pastry Shop was the Thrift Shop. Bessie loved to dress up in "treasures" that she found there. She always made a fashion statement! She was a strong, humorous and flamboyant woman, to say the least. I'm sure that she'll be greatly missed. Sandra Phillips
