My paternal Grandmother was Bessie. Widowed in her 40's, she worked in the shipyards during the war to support my Dad & his 3 siblings. And then in a coat factory as a seamstress until retirement. I still remember the cute little royal blue coat she made me when I was about 5 or 6. Remember getting in trouble for getting chocolate candy on it after Sunday School one day. Hmmm...maybe I need a VSM to name after her?? :mrgreen:
