There are several people in my family that have made me the woman that I am today. Here are some of those people...
1)Nellie G. Bell-Mother
My mom has always been there for me. She has shown me tough love when I needed it. She also taught me to never settle for less than what I deserve.
2)Daniel C. Bell, Jr.-Father
My daddy has shown me unconditional love from day one. He has taught me the true meaning of family and what it means to have them in your life.
3)Stacy N. Bell-Sister
Stacy is my younger sister. She is 3 1/2 years younger with me. We have always been close. She has always looked up to me and I have always felt a special love and bond with her.
4)Daniel C. Bell, III-Brother
DC, as was known, was my younger brother. He was the level headed one of the three of us. He was always loving and caring. I tend to find myself with a lot of his traits and qualities. DC passed away in January 2004 at the age of 21.
5)Laura Owens-Great Aunt
My Aunt Laura helped raise me. She took care of me when my parents were at work or school. She called me her "Sweetie Pie". Up until the day she died, she was still looking after me and teaching members of the family the right way to do things. When she passed away, she was 108 years young.
6)Willie Ruth and Linwood Brown-Maternal Grandparents
Mr. and Mrs. Linwood and Willie Ruth Brown always showed affection and love to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I learned about cooking from my grandmother and I learned about sports from my grandfather. They would take all 16 of their grandchildren for the whole summer (something that I probably would never do). They made sure we had full but also were well grounded. I truly miss those summers and cherish the time that I spent with them and my extended family.
