It is hard to find the words through the tears to describe the emotions I feel at the loss of one of the most special people to have ever been in my life. Aunt Belle is and will always be an inspiration of how to love, encourage, and make everyone feel special and welcome. I am so sorry that I couldn't make it down from New York but my heart is there with you.
I have so many wonderful memories of life at Booger Hollow when the family would gather for reunions or when I would come as a kid with my grandparents to visit and we would all sit at the long table and enjoy just being family.
What a celebration that must be occurring in heaven as Belle is reunited with her parents, siblings, and other family and friends. It makes me look forward to the day that I can go to that great reunion where I am sure Belle will be among the first to hug me again and say, "Oh honey, it is so good to see you!".
All my love to you all,
Mark, JT, Jacob, and Laurie
