Bell loved cats, enjoyed cooking, especially for her family. Bell's family was her world.

So sorry for your loss. She was a sweet lady. I always knew my son, Eric was well taken care of and never worried when Bell was keeping him as a toddler. I know all the Mothers felt that way, too. Sending sympathy and prayers to the families. Jan

Bell was a kind lady and we always enjoyed our visits during her later years as my neighbor.
She enjoyed visiting our other neighbor to hold their grand-babies . She helped so many children through the years.

Sorry for your loss. I miss her. When I seen I thought of Sister week then read where it mentioned sister Day. Granny was old forget my birthday at times because it was during sister week. Great memories of the times I spent at her house and uncle Bill! When I worked at McDonald's he would get hot cakes and say not to tell Isabell! Sorry I won't be able to attend. Sending my prayers.
