I will always remember my Aunt Belva as one I could look up to as a person who loved everyone. I pray for Gods comfort in this time of sorrow for the family. Here is a little something I found for the family to remember her love
In Our Hearts We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart..
Belva is a beautiful lady.She always cared about others.the short time I got to know her our be around her.There wasn’t never a time when she would talk with my mom she would always ask How Sherry doing with her Bone Disease.Belva was a person anyone would love.she made you feel welcome and she was a very classy and pretty lady.My heart goes out to all the family.
Belva was a person everyone loved.you hold a special place in my heart.Lord give family and friends peace to there hearts. Sherry Sirmans
Belva was a beautiful lady with an awesome family. I know all the family is just heart broken! Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. May God bless each of you with his love.
Aunt Belva, you will never know what an inspiration you were to me. I always admired your dignity and grace. I often thought you could be a queen. You were so thoughtful and kind. You called me every year on my birthday. I am so going to miss that this year. We shared many phone calls especially after mom passed away. You stepped into a mother’s role for me and filled a deep void in my heart. My heart is breaking for your children because you were such a good mother and wife. You showed your love in special ways to different people along the way. Oh how you will be missed but I know you’re in the arms of Jesus now and you suffer no more. Go rest high on that mountain until we meet again. I love you and you will forever be in my heart.
I so hated to hear about Belva passing. There are no words that can be said to take the hurt away. But I know that only time will dull the hurt of losing a love one. The pain of losing a mom will always be there. But you will always have your sweet memories. Some times I feel like my mom is still with me even though she has been gone years. I pray that you all will find peace at this time. Belva will be truly missed.
Belva is resting in God’s all-embracing arms of love. She will leave a void but since God, who is Love, fills all space, that seeming void is already filled with His omnipresent and all-powerful love to comfort. She would tell us not to be sorrowful because she is traveling on to bright, new experiences. Much love to her precious family.
To Belva’s Beloved Family,
No words can express my sorrow for the Stanley Family. My family was a long time neighbor and friend of all of you. Belva was a beautiful caring person inside and out. Anyone who knew Belva felt her devoted love to her family. What a wonderful Mother and wife, she was. My heart breaks for each of you. Belva was once, twice a lady in every sense of the word. My God bless you in this sad time. Nothing can take away her love for each of you and your wonderful memories of her special love of each one of you. Belva can rest in peace now and her family can too. Belva completed her roll as Mother and Wife. Remember all of you learned from the best.
Love to see each one of you,
Elizabeth Christian Banks and Family

Aunt Belva life will never be the same without you here. I will hold on to the memories that I had as a child coming to your house for the summer. We always felt loved by you and had fun at your house. And thanks for being there for me when I needed you. When Mama passed away and I needed someone to be there with me when Darrell had his kidney removed you were there with me. You step up to the plate because you knew that Mama was gone and I would need someone there with me. I know that you are in a much better place. And I will see you again one day but until then I will hold you in my heart. Give Mama a hug and a kiss for me.
