    I just wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. It was a great pleasure getting to know Ms Mary Belle and you, her lovely family. She had a beautiful spirit and I truly enjoyed the stories and the chuckles we shared together on Sunday mornings. I'm sure she's now in heaven keeping all the angels in line! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Beth
