ARABELLA "BELL" BARNAWELL

2004


BELL'S PRAYER BLANKET

Picture
Melissa Schlenz Barnawell's daughter, Linda Schlenz's grand-daughter, MawMaw's (Georgia Perry's) granddaughter Bell, is a 6 year old who  has been battling Cystic Fibrosis since Birth.  They actually diagnosed her at 6 weeks  of age. Bell, her parents, and her little sister Rory are currently  residing in St.  Louis, MO awaiting a double lung  transplant..... May, 2011

 Please take a minute and be apart of this prayer blanket  for Bell.   Michael, the girls, and I have  gotten a prayer blanket for Bell. The folks that we have worked with....and  those in town who have been VERY SUPPORTIVE of Bell have all written SHORT prayer messages and  signed!
 
Prayers are written on the front and back of the blanket!!!  Really COOL and SWEET!   One of the sides of the blanket....in the middle, all of Bell's Kindergarten Classmates signed, and all of the staff  at TelfairCounty Elementary  School---which is Bell's school. The staff's of Telfair County Middle  School(where Miss Linda Works) and TelfairCounty  High  School (where Michael  works) and the staff of Smith's Pharamacy (where Aunt Molly works) all  signed.  Here you can see a slide show of the finished blanket.

Picture
Bells wish came true.  She got to meet Taylor Swift at a concert in St. Louis.  Follow this link  Help Bell Meet Taylor Swift  to see all the comments Bell got on her webpage.  Leave her a personal message - she would love to hear from you.
