Her adopted family survives her in death.

Bella loved life. She loved to create paintings, ceramics, and do her fingernails. She loved to read books on her Kindle, online, or in print. Bella loved all kinds of music but was most fond of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. She would listen to the symphony while at home, in the hospital, or any time she needed to escape the confines of her wheelchair, bed, or other seemingly dark situation.

Bella loved her friends and loved to spend time at school dances or events. She would buy gifts freely to give away, not to bring glory to herself, but to see the joy brought to others through her gifts. Bella loved her family and loved to spend time playing games, sharing laughs, and food together. Her nieces, all three, were the apple of her eye and the joy of her life. In some ways, she always had that rich, deep, wonderful childlike wonder of all life is and loved to share that with them whenever she could.

BELLA LOVED!!!
