Honoring Bella: Continuing Hope

Hello, my name is Erika Mull and I am Bella Denny's aunt. This is something we wished we did not have to do. As you may have heard, our precious Bella passed away yesterday, November 13th.

She touched so many lives! Despite all of the hardships and obstacles she faced in her short life, she was always happy and smiling.​ Bella loved life, she loved her community, she loved her family and she loved her "kids" (friends). She loved to stick her tongue out and tease all of us every chance she had! One of her favorite things was to call us by the wrong name, over and over again! She enjoyed just being around people and was always sad when it was time to leave.

As much as we don’t like to, we are asking our friends and family to please help out if you can. A parents worse nightmare is having to plan their child’s funeral, and unfortunately, that is exactly where we find ourselves right now.​ ​Thank you for following Bella's journey but this is not the end for Bella. We would love to continue Bella's ray of hope by utilizing the extra proceeds to provide opportunities for children just like her.

We will update everyone with funeral information as soon as we have it. If you have pictures and/or memories you would like to share, or anything else Bella related, please post in the “Hope For Bella” Facebook group. We would love to see the pictures and read the stories!

Please pray for Bella's family and friends as we continue to mourn the immense loss we are feeling. And always, keep the HOPE alive.
