Dear Norman & Family

We are saddened by the passing of Belva. Jack and I will always remember her sweet and kindly smile, and the softness of her heart. We will soon all be together again and I'll bet one of the first things we will see is that sweet smile of Belva's.

Dear Norm, Lisa and Chrissy,

Belva provided a beacon of light that guided many of us out of the shadows. Though she is no longer with us, her memory will live on in our hearts. Her aura of LOVE has been such an inspiration for me, I will miss her, but my life is so much richer for the time I was allowed to spend with her. My best to you all.

Dear Norm, Lisa and Chrissy,

We want you to know that our hearts are with you during this time of loss in your lives. Aunt Belva was always so special to us, even though she was in California for so many years. She always made us feel as loved her own children. She was always so generous. I remember last summer Jeff and I had to come to Logan for a job Jeff was doing and you both insisted I come to visit. I have never had such a wonderful time and felt so special to be in someone's home. I will never forget Belva's arthritic hands trying to make a sandwich. She was not happy unless she was serving. As a remembrance of that day Norm gave me two silk irises that were exquisite. I have them proudly displayed in my family room as a reminder of two Christlike people I want to be with eternally. We love you "the Most"

Dear Norm and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Belva's passing. You know how much she meant to my family. She was my kids substitute grandma in Walnut Creek and they have only the fondest memories of her. The quilts she made for them when they were small are well worn and saved with all their favorite childhood memories. Belva always knew when I needed a hug and her wonderful soup. She helped me through some tough times with her love and support. I am so happy I was able to talk to you both a couple of weeks ago. I think of both of you often. Walnut Creek / Lafayette Ward has not been the same since you two left. Know that you are in our thoughts and hearts and how much Belva was loved by all the lives she touched.



Love,

Sharon Duffel along with Steve, Stephen, Corey, and Kevin

Dearest Mom,Mya.

We miss your smile and your love. The thing that I miss most is the spirit that surrounds you. Whenever I'm with you I feel the spirit so strongly. You radiate Light and Love. Our Savior works through you. He worked through you when you were here with us and I know He is working through you now . Selfishly I wish you were here with us still. YOu've always been my rock. No matter what, you were there for me and for my children,. You brought us through many hard times. Your testimony taught all of us, even when you were just going about your daily activities. So many times I saw you on your knees, pleading wih and talking with God, mostly for us. Ilove you, Mya, and Melissa,Wyatt, Sheridan and Christian love you, too. From your Oldest but smallest daughter, Lisa
