We became involved with the dance studio when I brought my girls, Michelle and Melissa, to Jayne Bell to learn how to dance. They remained students for many years and I became Jayne's secretary, confident and side kick. When Jayne was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 35, we were right by her side until the time of her death. Her husband Michael asked me to take over the studio. At the time, Michelle and Melissa were still in college and we were not sure we could do it, but saying no somehow felt like we were letting Jayne down. We wiped our tears and pulled it together. With her watching down over us, we did it. Here we are, almost 20 years later still going strong!
