Lela Belle Matto

I was so sorry about LelaBelle's last illness and her death. She was such a nice lady. Always gracious and eager to help anyone. She was nice enough to include me with her friends when they played bridge in Ouray.
I know all of her family and friends in both Dallas and Ouray will miss her.

I was stunned to read about Lela Belle. She was one of the most beautiful people I ever knew. Her beautiful personality just drew people to her. She was two years ahead of me in Teague High School and she will be sorely missed. My condolences to all of her family

Although I only met Lela Belle briefly, it was a wonderful experience at a very hard time, eight years ago. My mother-in-law, Doris Brooks (nee Johnson) had passed away in 2000.

Lela Belle stayed with us for 2 days. The perfect Southern Lady, she brought us grace, charm and tranquility. We shall miss her, as will my wife, Phyllis Brooks Ward and father-in-law, Dud Brooks. They will be at the funeral with Frank Brooks.
May Lela Belle rest in peace, with Ben again, overlooking the...
