  34. Dobie, Shelly, Matthew and Riley,
    I (carol) was so upset when Riley came to the back door of the Post Office Friday morning looking for Doreen. I knew something was desperately wrong, I’ve never seen Riley like that before. We were so sad to hear that Belva had passed away. For almost 20 years Belva was part of my day. She did always have a smile on her face. The whole family were so good to her, helping her out when she needed, everyone could see how much you all loved her. Hold on to the memories, don’t ever have regrets, just remember each day how much she loved you. Belva will be missed. My deepest sympathy to each of you.

  35. Very sorry to hear of Belva’s passing. We hope you find the strength to get through this trying time and are able to cherish all the wonderful memories. Thinking of you all, Callie & Kevin Uhlman
