In loving memory of my mother: Bessie Louise Tielking By: her son: Benjamin Matthew Tielking. The first memory of my precious mother was her reading bedtime devotional from scriptures from The Holy Bible & Little Golden Books. My (2) favorites were John 3:16 & The Elves And The Shoemaker. My mom was a loving wife to my dad: James Norman Tielking, a caring mother to my sister: Bessie Grace Tielking & I, a hard worker, a wonderful cook, a spiritual singer/songwriter, a great listener, a comforting shoulder to cry on, a loyal child of God & among her many achievements (though they may have been unnoticed on earth, except by those her knew & loved her) she was My Mama...& for that I am eternally grateful to our Heavenly Father. The last memory I have of my precious was my last visit at The Crossville Health & Rehabilitation Center on Thurs. July 26, 2018. Mom was in constant pain, but she managed to light up like a Christmas tree when I came walking through the door. We talked, sang some songs among which was: "When The Savior Reached Down For Me"...that was the last song I got to sing with my mom. In closing: to ALL those (family & friends) who had the honor of knowing her, we ALL know beyond ANY shadow of a doubt that she loved us, amen? Well, she couldn't walk since she had a partial paralyzing stroke in 2010, but mama's WALKING on streets of gold now! Sincerely, Benjamin Matthew Tielking: son of Bessie Louise Tielking. God bless the USA.
