My prayers are with the family. Bess was a lovely lady and I always enjoyed seeing her at the Groves Family Reunions. She was a very special person and I pray for comfort during this time of grief over our loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bess was a true professional. I had the privilege of working with Bess after joining Wortham in 2007. She always spoke so kindly of my father having known him through the insurance agency business. Bess' legacy will continue on with Wortham as there is not a day that goes by that our team does not mention her name and the lessons she taught everyone at the firm over the years. May the Lord comfort and hold you tight in this time.

Sorry to learn of the loss of Bess, a wonderful kind, helpful and smart lady. We both started working about the same time at the Scarbrough Building - she with Consolidated Insurance Agency for Katherine Jones, and I for the Scarbrough family. We had many shared memories.
