Belle and I were babies together as our mothers were lifelong friends too. I think of her often and will always miss her.

Condolences to the family. Please take comfort in the Biblical hope that sickness and death will soon be no more. At Hosea 13:14, it shows why we can see our dear loved ones again and we can believe that.
Mary Lee Hill Tatum.
