"While Heaven Waited"
by Odessa Rippetoe
The book is titled: "While Heaven Waited"
This amatour "Genealogist" has not read the book yet, but I understand  that is was written for Belva Karen by her Aunt Odessa Rippetoe (their father's sister).  This little girl died at about seven years old. She had a very rare nerve cancer called: Neroblastoma

There was a hospital built in Texas and it was
named after Belva and Nona.

This info was provided by Alma Hurst (their Aunt)
