  1. Glenn Miller says:

    So sorry for your loss. The good memories will always be with you. Glad to have known your Mom.

  2. Victoria says:

    As a long time friend of Jim Bell, it was about twenty-five years ago that I had the pleasure of meeting his mom, Faye. She was a true Southern lady; charming, fun with sparkly eyes and a bright smile. Over the years, our paths crossed and there was a couple of occasions that she shared her wealth of knowledge about mortgages with me, which I found invaluable. The beauty of Faye isn’t merely her business acumen or professional savvy; to me, it was how proud she was of her two children Jim and Melinda. She was a mother who truly loved her children and that is truly beautiful.

    My sincere condolences to Jim, Melinda and family.
