So sorry i couldn’t join my former AVH workers in remembering this one-of-a-kind beautiful lady. We all loved her for her kind and gentle ways–a good Christian in every way. Heaven has received a very special person.
One great lady. She will be so missed by those who knew her.
Never imagined I would be sending this memo for my friend, like a sister to me. John, Stepanie, Chad I am sending my deepest sympathy to you knowing you have lost the sweetest lady I know and will always cherish her memory as my co-worker and friend for many years. Belle will always be in my heart along w/Barbara, RIP together. Eileen and James
I’m so sorry to hear of Belle’s passing. My mother and her were friends for many years and Mom was there welcoming her home.
My heart breaks for all that loved this beautiful person. She was a breath of fresh air and very faithful Christian lady. Heaven gained an angel. I loved her dearly and will miss her always until we meet again sweet friend.
John and family, I’m so sad to hear about Belle’s passing. She was always so kind to me over the many years I knew her. My sincere condolences. She will be missed by all that knew her.

Dear Stephanie and family
I am so sorry to hear about your mom.
I have known your mom since the 60’s and loved her dearly. She was one of the kindest, sweetest people I’ve ever known.
May God bless you and your family during this sad and difficult time.
Love always
