Dear Belle family,

My mom already signed this but I wanted to say somthing in my own words...I have known Jevon Belle (Her son) for 6 years of my life and I never thought this would happen. I know that Jevon and I were not the greatest friends but I would never wish for this to happen to him or anyone. I've said many prayors for the Belle family. Wish you the best

To the Belle family:

I didn't know Cynthia well but after reading these memories of her, I can now understand why she invited every child in Jevon's class to his birthday party when he was in kindergarten. That was the first time that I met her and I wondered if she was crazy inviting so many 5 year olds to a party. Now I can see that she probably never gave it a 2nd thought. She was a doer who was outgoing, friendly and cheerful.

Your loss is shared by many friends who care. You're in our thoughts and in our every prayer.

Hold on. Cynthia was a wise and Godly woman who shared many moments with me as a friend and as a sister in the struggle. I am happy our paths crossed. I am happy we sought out the same ambitions and truths for ourselves and our people. Loving her like a Sister. Attorney Debra Seaton
