This is my great Aunt Laurene. She is my Mom's Aunt which made her my great Aunt. But that's not the only reason she was my great Aunt. She was a great Christian woman who loved to tell corny jokes, play the piano and sing any time there was a piano around! Every single time I saw her, she would tell me how proud she was of me! The last time was in Belk about a year ago. I told her then how much I loved her and Uncle John and told her how much it meant to me that she was such an encourager to me. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and I know she had her hair fixed like she liked it and her make up and jewelry on as she ran to hug Jesus! She was a great lady. I love you Aunt Bessie Laurene and your kindness is forever etched in my soul.
