Anna Belle Bratton

My mom, Mary (Anna Belle's sister), is so broken hearted as am I. The 7-sister bond is now gone. I met you briefly when Grandma was still with us and heard so many stories over the years. I miss having so many of us in California-I am no longer there, either. Guess I better get to Arkansas and visit! You were a gentle and loving soul. Heaven is even a better place now that you're there. Peace and love to your grieving family.

I am a long time friend of Patricia Ireland, Anna Belle's "baby" sister. She has mentioned how close the "Billingsley" sisters have been over the years and is very sad about losing the first one of them to move to the next level of eternity. She will be missed; however, her memory will survive with loving thoughts from her family and friends. She is at peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Grand Ma Bratton was such a great person, I know she will be missed very much.

What a gift it is to have known this remarkable woman. Rest in peace Anna Belle, you truly deserve it.

I admired this lovely, strong and gentle woman so very much. She was a joy to know and love. I'm very proud that my children, Douglas (Tiger) and Angela were blessed to have her for so long as their beloved grandmother. May she sleep in the arms of angels, and God rest her beautiful soul. Her life was very special to so many.

We will miss our very dear Aunt that meant so much to us. She was special to so many and was such a joy to be with. She always had wonderful things to talk about and knew so much about so many different things. Each person she was with felt special to be with her too. We loved her very much but know she is now resting in peace with her heavenly family, We love you Aunt Belle!

We have you and your family in our prayers.

My feelings of sadness go to all of Aunt Belle's family. I know she will be so much missed. I have good memories of spending time with her in my younger years. I will always think of her when I see flowers or books. Our family is so lucky to be able to have our family members to enjoy for such long lives. Aunt Belle will be missed by everyone. I share your sorrow, my love to each of you.

Please know that I will miss having Aunt Anna Belle around, even though I didn't see her much in our adult life, but do have lots of memories of her from my childhood. She was a special lady, and when I think of books or flowers, she comes into my thoughts. I can remember seeing pictures of Aunt Belle with you boys, where you were at something to do with ships, and I was wishing I had someone to so such special things with me. We are so lucky to have so many of our beloved kin around for so long. My love and good memories go to all of you.

I will miss you and your sharp mind, memories of working in Houston, your tasty treats and your loyal attendance to SCAT. Prayers for your family and friends.
