I think by now you have found my mom and the Bell-Mahers stories are being told one after another. And some I still refuse to believe. Rest in peace, Betty Bell. You brought alot of smiles to my family.

Betty and I were second cousins. We were childhood playmates and lifelong friends. She was a wonderful person. Though we lived apart for most of our lives, we were always in contact. I shall miss her and the delightful conversations we shared. My condolences to Lloyd and the Betty Lostroh family.

My sympathies to Sharon, and all the Lostoh Family. As a student of Wavery High School, it was always nice to see Mrs. Lostoh working in the kitchen at the lunchroom. She always had a friendly smile and knew so many of student’s names. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
