Mrs. Bryan was an amazing, gifted, loving woman. She had a beautiful singing voice . I would sing in the choir with my late mother in law Pauline. And the two of them were dear friends. She had a giving spirit and we enjoyed times with her on our visits back to Bedford. The last time I saw her was 2 years ago. Her beautiful smile, caring heart and strong hugs. She’ll be missed, but now in the embrace of God and the friends ,family that went before. ❤

Mrs Bryan was a great person! I’ve known her for most of my life. She was evxtremely smart and loving. My memories start from Sunday school at the First Baptist Church. The most recent time I saw here was at the graveside service for my Mom at Shawsheen Cemetery a couple of years ago.. I know she will be missed very much! She may have been a short person in height, but, she was taller than most of us in our lives and our memories! You will be missed!

Ms. Bryan was simply awesome. Both of my kids had her as a substitute teacher. I volunteered in some of the Davis classes when she was subbing. She was such a warm hearted person and the kids loved her. My son recalls several pleasurable conversations with her at BHS.
Ms. Bryan will be missed by my entire family.
Rest In Peace.
