I had the honor of meeting Belinda on spring break in 1989 with our group from MI along with her fun bunch from IN. Over the years we all did our best to keep in contact, but families and time grew us apart. Belinda, with that glowing smile and beautiful soul will always hold a special place in my heart and I know I speak for many from MI who were having fun, sharing laughs in Myrtle Beach, 1989. Prayers and beautiful memories…forever. I’m so sorry.

Kristen Zieba says
This is the saddest news. It seems like not so long ago we were teenagers and running around having so much fun. (Maybe a little too much fun) I have a lot of great memories of Belinda that will always make me smile. Her laugh was contagious, her smile was always so big, she could dance, worlds best hair, not to mention she was gorgeous both inside and out, that was only just a few great qualities that I have of Belinda . As life goes on we tend to get busy with our own lives and regretfully we lose touch of the people from our past that have impacted our lives in so many ways. My heart breaks for Terry, Micah, Matthew, and Harley. I know words cannot express the loss you are feeling. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are always with Belinda’s families and friends. especially her 3 sons and Husband. Deepest sympathy to all of you. Heaven gained a beautiful angel .
