I was blessed to know Nora Belle the last 20 years of her life. She was such a pleasant lady and a go getter. I was shocked to learn how old she was when she was greeting at Walmart. I only wish I had met her sooner. She was always laughing, I imagine it was hard to ever stay sad with her upbeat attitude. Prayers for the family.
