Myra, Joanie, Andy and families, What great memories we have of your Mom. She was always kind-hearted and showed interest in our boys as they were growing up. We'll always remember the fun times at SH Country Club with your Mom and Dad and many other "elders" who are gone but will not be forgotten. How blessed you were to have her in your life for so many years. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Myra, Andy and Joannie, I don't even know where to begin. I have such wonderful memories of growing up next all of you on Clinton St. Your Mom was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I treasure those memories so much. Love to all of you.

Dar Myra, Joanie, and Andie - The memories I have of your mom go back 65+ years when Myra and I were in preschool together, Joanie was learning to tie her shoes, and Andie was just a newborn in her crib. Your mom was always such a beautiful woman, very gracious and generous. She was always interested in hearing about our families, how they were growing, and where they were living. She loved you girls so much which was always evident over the years. She was very proud of her growing family with all the grandchildren and greats - loving to share their achievements and adventures. May God rest her soul - she will always be a part of our hearts. Much love, Carol

We both enjoyed visiting With Belle and Si in South Haven while watching the 4th. of July fireworks from their front yard. We will cherish her memory, miss her sweet smile,and beautiful white hair. On Valentines day she smiled at God, he opened his doors and let the sun shine through letting you all know that everything was going to be okay. Love to all of you, TE & ME

Thomas will miss the hugs Nana always gave him, Zack will miss telling her stories about his adventures on the beach, Chase and Claire will miss her soft white hair. Steve and I will miss late night Boggle games (which we never won), watching sunsets on the front steps, 4th of July Fireworks, watching the Tigers in the den and wonderful conversations about her family and about her first meeting and courtship with Papa. Nana always welcomed our family into her home with open arms whether for a week or a weekend. Our kids' favorite place to visit will always be "Nana's beach."

I was saddened to hear of the death of Belle. I had worked with both Belle and Si for several years and enjoyed our conversations and visits. Of all the things we talked and visited about, what I remember most is how proud they were of their daughters and grandchildren. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of them. The Rezniks were truly a South Haven pillar.
