I loved this lady all my life. Was so sad that it had been such a long time since I saw her. I communicated with her for a while; then I stopped hearing from her, so wasn't sure how she was. When I was a child we lived across the road from her and I would slip away from my Mom to go see Essie Bryce. I have a great grandson named Bryce and I love that his parents gave him that name.

To finish my message. I pray God will be with each of you in the months ahead. I loved her dearly and know you did too and will miss her so much. Lots of love from my house to yours. Barbara Hall Hudson. And also, I want to say she was just as beautiful at 94 as she was when she was young.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. I will always remember her smile and how that brightened the room. She was the life of your family gatherings and as you wrote an inspiration for how to live life to the fullest. No matter how tired she seemed to be she always wanted to chat. Her kind words about my daughter Morgan will not be forgotten. She will be missed.
