My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Frankie Bell and the entire family. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. I knew Liz well. She was very energetic, and always kept a smile on her face. To know her is to love her. She will be missed, but she at home now with the Lord. May God comfort and keep you Sister Bell.

Liz and I once shared a hug at a graduation and we thanked each other that we had been gifted with a connection that meant so much to both of us. May the Lord welcome you with wide open arms and hold you in the palm of His hands. Love, Connie, Joe, Caroline, Brian, Yvonne, and Jim
