Thinking about that little old Korean spitfire. I am grateful for the Korean influence in my life. Love you Grandma. I  am glad you are with Grandpa after such a long wait. 

Your Great- Granddaughter Courtney and Great -Great Granddaughter, Elena.

Oh mom,.. I miss you so much. I think about you every day since you left us. I am glad to have seen you before you went to join dad.  I miss our lunches at the Korean restaurants we would go to. I miss our shopping trips. I miss the stories of Korea. My heart aches.... 

Grandma & Grandpa on their wedding day ❤️

Oh “Gramma B”, 
This woman was so many things to so many people. To me, she was the grandma I went to for scary movies and junk food as a kid. She was the fun grandma, the one that let you get away with things your parents wouldn’t let you. 
Okboon was a strong woman, a woman who’d been through so much as a child in Korea but still managed to conquer and live a full life. Gramma I hope to live like you as I grow. I hope to be as independent and strong as you were. May you spend the rest of eternity with the love of your life and your favorite child, Abby. We miss you and you will live on in my heart for always. 

Grandma, you’ve been there for me through everything. You took me and my sisters in and took care of us when you didn’t have to. You fed us, clothed us, and looked after us. I’m lucky enough to say I had two moms growing up. You always looked after your family and took care of them in the way they needed. I’m just happy that I was able to return the favor and be there to help you whenever you needed. Whether it be to clean your rugs, re-tarp the roof, or fix something broken for you... you knew I was always there for you. I love you and am going to miss you lil lady. 😘

Your Grandaughters  Nicole, Monique, April and myself will always remember the way you always love to cook and remember when we all grew up even tho we sometimes made you mad and sometimes made you laugh.  I hope you will finally find peace.

Grandson and great Grandson - Mitchell Henley Sr and Jr

Mom, a day doesn't go by that I don't want to walk over to your house across the street to check on you, eat your cooking, or give you a hug and tell you I love you.   I've been doing this almost everyday for the last 10 yrs since I moved back to Wa to be near you.  We laughed and cried, shared stories of Dad, and you shared stories with me about what it was like in  Korea when you were growing up,  You told me of the many heartaches, tragedies and sadness you endured during the Korean War, But you also shared with me the joys and good that happened and all about how you and dad met.  We spent hours on end laughing and watching your crazy 3 favorite shows 600 lb life, Naked and Afraid, and Dr Pimple Popper.  I loved watching you laugh at me, when I didn't want to watch some of the shows.  You taught me more than I even knew about Korea, Korean culture, and most of all one of my most favorite thing in my life - Korean dramas's.  Mom you will not be forgotten because you are everywhere, when I look into the mirror, when I look into my childrens faces, and when I look  into my grandchildren your great grandchildrens faces.  Your legacy will never die - your love will never end, and your spirit will forever be in our hearts.  Finally you can rest in peace.

Since my three daughters grew up I lived with you for the last fifteen years taking care of you and making sure all your needs were taking care of. You may not have voiced everything but I know enough that what you wanted you didn't have to tell me. 

I hope that you now will not feel no pain and be happy that you finally can join Dad and abby there in heaven.
Love your daughter Irene Bathgate Fredricks

Here is a picture of my oldest sister Sookie, my mom, and myself.

Here is the last pic I remember taking with my mom.  I am Linda, the youngest of 6 girls - Sookie - oldest, Irene, Jessie, Nena, Peggy and me.  I truly loved and cherished my mom and always will. I will honor you and your name forever ---Rest in peace mom.

Although you are gone mom, we will not let your memory die in vain. Nena stole everything from you,..everything you and dad worked so hard for. Karma and the law will make her pay....  

Dear Family,

My name is John Coffee and I served in Korea in 1959 and 1960. I knew a Sgt. Bathgate during my tour in Taegu, Korea.

My condolences on your loss.

If this is the same Bathgate family, please give a call later.

John Coffee (360-446-2339)

Although its difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Grief never ends but changes,  Its a passage, not a place to stay.  Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith...It is the price of Love.

I will always remember you mom and love you and you will be missed.

This amazing woman raised me and my sisters. She was a strong, independent, loving, generous, nurturing, and a hilarious woman. Missing her like crazy. Love you grandma. ❤️
