Wilma Jean (Hurst) Bessey 7/28/1932 - 3/26/2012

Three days after leaving Salt Lake City we arrived in Elma, Washington during the last days of August 2011 for a visit with family in the area. It turned out to be the last time I saw my Mother alive. She was living in a nursing home with complications of Parkinson's disease, and I knew in my heart that each visit could very likely be the last. It seemed miraculous that she held on as long as she did, but the human spirit can be amazing! I'll be forever grateful I was able to spend these few days with her in August. Wilma Jean (Hurst) Bessey passed away on March 26, 2012. Be at peace Mom.
