My condolences and deepest sympathies to you Jim, Molly and family. I am so saddened to hear of Hessie’ passing. She was a lovely lady and I remember you all would make a point of saying “hi” to me at Marks. May she rest in peace. May the love of God and family and friends ease your pain through this difficult time. God Bless.
Many happy memories of Aunt Hessie.
Our deepest sympathies to Uncle Jim, “Aunt” Mollie, Crawford & Bev, Allison & Steve, David and her grandchildren.
We know you will miss her greatly, but those who know the Lord as their Savior never say a final goodbye.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
Dear friends – We want to acknowledge Hessie`s Homegoing and know how much you are going to miss her sweet spirit. We loved our visits with the Steeles in London and elsewhere. We remember all too well our move to Chandos in 2002 and the huge help everyone was to us then. Just one wonderful woman, wife and mother! What an incredible legacy she leaves! And what a model for those of us coming behind! May the Lord provide His amazing comfort and peace at this time to all of you. We sure wish we could be at the service, but it is just not possible right now. Remind us not to move again for at least another decade!! With our sincere sympathy and heartfelt love – Wayne & Dorothy
I was sorry to hear the news about Hessie’s passing. As families, we really grew up “alongside” each other. Alison and David, I have many fond memories of your mom’s friendly smile and kind heart. Our prayers are with you all at this time. May God grant you peace and strength, knowing she is now in a better place, with her Lord.
