At The Loogootee Times Newspaper, we want to acknowledge our thoughts and prayers to the Bell family after the passing of my great aunt Carolyn "Jean" Bell on September 30.
In light of recent events, we wish to clarify that our decision to distance ourselves from certain family matters was solely motivated by the desire to protect our family, and not with any intent to offend. Our departure was not due to Jean’s children but stemmed from issues encountered during her caregiving for my grandmother. We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Bell family during this difficult time following the passing of my great-aunt, Carolyn "Jean" Bell.
We recognize the sensitivity of this matter and kindly request your respect and understanding as we prioritize our privacy during this period. Please be assured that our connection to the family remained intact until 2020, and our actions are guided solely by our commitment to care for and safeguard my loved ones.
We thank you for continuing to read The Loogootee Times. We also appreciate the subscribers who follow the page every day. As you may have noticed, we haven't published much lately due to the recent event.
