Belle Levman

Belle was an inspiration to all of us. She led a full and active life up to the very end. Condolences to her family. It is not easy to lose the matriarch of the family at any age. As a close friend of Barb since childhood I have known Belle for a long time and will miss hearing about her accomplishments as a bridge master winning various bridge tournaments. Was also amazed that she continued to work part time at age 90. Belle will clearly be missed by family and all that had the privilege to know her but one takes comfort in the wonderful memories. Would also say sweet dreams but knowing Belle she is likely arranging a bridge game in the afterlife.

Belle was an inspiration to all of us leading a full and active life up to the end. She exemplifies how we all wish to age gracefully. Condolences to her family as it is not easy to lose such an inspirational and loving matriarch of the family at any age. As a close friend of Barb since childhood it was an honour to know Belle for a very long time. Will clearly miss hearing about her various accomplishments including but not limited to winning competitions as a bridge master or working part time at age 90 to keep busy. Belle will be missed by family and all that had the pleasure of knowing her but one takes comfort in the wonderful memories. Would also say sweet dreams but knowing Belle she already organized a bridge game in the afterlife.

Barb Ian and family We are saddened to hear of you loss You have so many wonderful memories to reflect on so glad you spent quality time together

So sorry to hear about Belle's passing. We played bridge together and she was a firecracker! We will all miss her smiling face and sharp wit.

Our sincere condolences. Belle was always such a lady. She always had a smile. I would see her across the table playing bridge. She and Bill were at our parents' ( Lil & Eddie Rose) wedding in Vancouver Jan. 3/44. I even remember your maternal grandparents store on College St. Marlene, Barbara & Janice nee Rose

I am sorry to lose my good friend. She was a special lady liked by everyone. My condolences to all of you. May you be strengthened by all of your good memories. Thelma Shore

Belle, it was an honour to know you since our first meeting 8 years ago. I will miss your welcoming smile at our bridge games.

Dear Barbara and Ian, We are so very sad to hear of the death of Belle. She was a gracious and quiet lady with an inner core of strengths. We had enjoyed so many wonderful visits and conversations over our 40 plus years of spending summers together at Wapaska. Her memory will always be a blessing for those who knew and loved her.

To my lovely friend and co worker, days that passed were not always easy, but now you have found your resting place. Remember when you asked me if I believed in Heaven, and I without hesitating replied absolutely, and was surprised by your response, you said "I'm jealous, I don't know what to believe", and I replied, Heaven is for everyone, free for all, but not easy to get there. That was a good day, we spoke, got even personal and you let me know that you wished that you'd get there too. Good news for you my friend, I am prayerful and will ensure that necessary prayers will be said for your soul and of course Bill's, just so you know, when I was doing a bit better financially, I had a mass done for Bill, he was always on my mind and now know he's at a peaceful place, hopefully with lots of green grass, as Bill always loved nature. You will be eternally my friend Belle, and now I have a job to achieve, to pray for your soul, just please come and visit me in my dreams if you find it benevolent, again just so you know, I never wanted to leave but things are as they are, and now you are not here and I am, alone, my husband and sisters all gone, my mom is still with me, but don't know for how long, she too is in her 90's. Bye my friend, not for long, for I too will one day journey and hoping to see you again smiling in the peaceful green pastures that God has entrusted to all of us, there is a place for all of us, God has a room awaiting for each and everyone of us, God Bless you Bianca, I love you.
