Belle and I were sorority sisters at I.U. Our chapter is now having a reunion - the first in 62 years. We are holding a Remembrance Service for those who are no longer with us, and Belle's life will be remembered with love by her KD sisters. I picture her smiling, as she was always smiling. She was a lovely person.
