I am so sad tonight as I write this, aunt Belle always made me laugh as a child and adult. although I could never be with her alot I loved her very much. My last visit with her was at Bills place in Kentucky,Mom,dad and I spent the day with her, and Bill. I dont think I"ve laughed so much in my life, she seemed to enjoy that day too. then we seen her at her mothers {my grandmothers} funeral, that was the last time. I"m only glad her suffering is over. I"ll always love her and miss her. To all my cousons,,, I love you and my heart is with you all. I can imagine how sad your heart must be. All of you were her pride and joy. She always had something to tell us about her kids she loved all you guys so much. I love you too, please keep in touch.
