I still think of Maribelle every day. We were so much a part of each other's lives from the time we kids that it just seems natural to pick up the phone and start to call or text. I'll continue to miss you till we meet again!

Maribelle was a wonderful friend & mentor during our time together with our horses, and visiting when we all were on Casey Key. Prayers for the whole family!

I loved my time with Maribelle. We shared countless laughs, tears and unforgettable experiences together. All she ever wanted to do is have fun ("Well that's no fun!") - and so did I. She will forever be missed.

Maribelle and I met when we were 10 years old, at what was then known as Dayton Country Club stables. We shared the fun and adventure of growing up and riding our horses through the wonderful Hills and Dale's trails. Our friendship continued with all the ups and down life brings and will forever be some of my best memories. Miss you always, friend. Darryln
