With the loss of Bessie , I come to realize that I am the last survivor of this generation. She was my first cousin. Her being the daughter of Aunt Pauline and me the son of Doyne Sharp. They all are gone now but the memories will never pass away. Our hearts are heavy for her survivers. Keep in touch with me if you can. Love Terry and Hazel Sharp
