I miss you so very much and think of you often and I remember all of the joy that you brought into my life. I always looked forward to talking to you on the telephone and hearing your sweet voice. You were always such a positive person and saw the best in everyone. I just wish that I could have been living closer to you but I have such fond memories and I am so thankful that I had you in my life. You will never be forgotten. You were such an amazing woman. I love you

My Aunt Margaret has always been like my second Mother and my heart feels so very empty knowing that I will never speak to her again in this life but I pray that I will see her again in Heaven.Thank you for always being there for me and always lifting my spirit.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is particularly hard when you lose a loved one who has been with you for over 90 years. Miss Bell was blessed with what the scriptures describe as being "especially strong." (Psalm 90:10) I hope that the many memories that you have of her will bring you the comfort you need in order to endure this difficult time. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
