Belva was a wonderful person and I always loved talking with her. She was always so cheerful and happy to see me.
Our prayers are with you.
We are sorry for your loss. You all are in our thought and hearts and prayers.
I have a few great memories of Belva. The oldest is when she first moved here and was always wanting to be giving gifts to everyone and so she wanted to shop and I told her to shop for hugs they last forever. She smiled and then she decide she was done shopping. A caring person she was. I could see thru her eyes three special people that gave her a twinckle in her eye, her two great grandsons from Peirre when they come to play Yathz on Saterday afternoon with her and son-in-law when she talk about the fishing trips with him. I am sure there are lots of memories that all of you have with her. They will be always with you. My Prayers are with all of you. Janet Bohn Activity Coordinator
This is for Lowell and his family.
You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom. I am sure it was hard to see her go to heaven but sounds like she lived a wonderful long life.
How is retirement for you Lowell?
I sure do enjoy mine and enjoyed working with you all those years in Social Services. I don’t miss the work but the people I do once in a while.
Hope everything is going well for you all and again, just wanted to send my sympathy greetings.
We winter in Texas so will be heading south sometime within the next few months.
Take care
