	April 4, 1968 Age 62	Burial of Bessy Sawyer Old Beth El Cemetary, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, United States The funeral service was held at Temple Beth El on Touhy Avenue in Chicago in order to accommodate the numerous mourners attending the celebration of her life. I was humbled and honored to realize how many people shared the loss of my mother. There were more than 1000 people in attendance, grieving the loss of a woman of truth, compassion, humor, genuine love for our family, friends, and acquaintances. The procession to the cemetery was overwhelmingly long, the funeral home employees had people share rides because of the abundance of cars. The graveside ceremony was beautiful, as Rabbi Victor Weissberg spoke so lovingly of my mother. Thank you to all who attended to remember her.
