Mike, Will and Brent, I am so saddened about Belva’s passing. I can’t imagine not hearing that beautiful voice again. I’m praying for you all that God will give you comfort and peace in the coming days. I know that Belva is resting in the arms of Jesus and happy to see her family that’s gone before her but she will be missed. Love you all.
Belva and I became good friends when I worked in the Trust Department of Centura Bank. She was always so helpful and had the best sense of humor. When I retired she gave me a beautiful wreath she made, which still hangs in my sun room It always makes me think of her. We stayed in touch through the years, and I am going to miss her. I’ll always remember her advice on flowers and shrubs and her great love of animals. My thoughts and prayers are with her family now and in the days ahead.
Belva, I will miss you my dear friend. I know you are singing praises with the Lord but for those of us left behind, we have our sweet memories. When I think of you I will smile. Prayers and hugs to Mike, Will, Brent and families.

To the family of sweet Belva, May God’s comfort be with you during this sad time. I worked with Belva at MBM and sang with her in the Englewood Baptist choir when I was a member there. I could always count on Belva for a good laugh, and I will always remember her beautiful smile. Belva was a beautiful person inside and out. I know she is now with Jesus and no doubt loving on all the animals in Heaven. Romans 828

Rest in peace my friend.

I only just learned of Belva’s passing. I was so shocked and saddened. She was such a great person! I did her hair for years and got to know her well. I loved her as I am sure anyone who knew her did. She will surely be missed.
