          In every life there is a special person, who helps to mold them, and make them what they are.  In my life that person was my Grandmother Bessie Lee Rushing Ramsey.   For that reason I am dedicating this site to her.  She was so full of love, she made every person who came into her life feel very special, she had very broad shoulders for us to lean on , a large heart with which she loved everyone, and ears that never tired of listening, and how she could cook.  She taught me my love of family.  Now that I am a grandmother , I try to use her footsteps as my guide.
