Dear Elizabeth, Norman and family,
I was saddened to hear that your mom passed away, but gladdened in my heart to realize that she will now be reunited with your father, Paul, and that she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. I also know that she is now reuniting with all her Bethany friends who have gone before her - my mom, Mary, Kathy's mom Ruth, Sharon's mom, Rozella and others - what a party they must be having right now! I always loved your mom - she said she was my "second mom" and I know that in our souls that this was true. She was a fun and joyous person! May you be comforted in the knowing that she is with her loving Father and at peace.
Much love and support, Rachel [Barbera] Lyman, Dave and all the Barberas

Dear Elizabeth, Norman, Erik,
We are greatly sadden by the loss of "Our Belle". She was truly a one of a kind lady. She was one of the most caring and loving persons that we know. I can certainly see why my beloved mom thought so very highly of her. (their friendship was over 50+ years.
We do know that Belle is up in heaven with Paul and my parents watching and praying for us all.
Love,
Terri & James

Dear Elizabeth, Erik, Norman & Joni,
Isabelle was a wonderful woman & very special to me. There was a time when we spoke daily on the phone. She was so devoted to your Father & so very proud of each one of you! She clearly loved her family and was very giving to her friends & church family. I am thankful for having known Isabelle. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. With affection, Debra Kelley
