I would like to pass my condolences on to Lori, Brent and the Bell family. When you work closely with someone, as I did with Laureen at Bobby Bend School, one begins to feel that through shared stories, we know one another's families as well. I know Mr. Bell will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Wanda Low (Lori's friend) on: Dec 29, 2013
