    My condolences for the loss of your loved one, and may you be comforted by Almighty God’s future promise to mankind in which He will do away with everything that causes pain, suffering and sorrow, that promise can be found in His written word, the Bible at Revelation 21: 4, 5.

    My Deepest Condolences goes out to the Bell family. My prayers for strength and peace for Mrs. Bell, one of the sweetest ppl you will ever meet. I am sure he hasn’t left your side and you have an Angel wings around you forevermore. I have known Mr & Mrs.Bell most of my life and whenever in their presence I always felt the love of their strong beautiful union. It truly touched my heart when I heard of Mr. Bell passing. Some of my fondest memories were of Mr. Bell making his weekly stop at our house and sitting at our table with my father and mother laughing and talking about their kids and grandkids. Then he would leave a big blue cooler filled with fish. I’m sure my mother and father had open arms as he entered the gates? Mr. Bell was really a great person. Every time I saw him while growing up. He would always stop his car, check on me and made sure I was okay. Then send me home to make sure I was staying out of trouble. Thanks Mr.Bell for being a great man and raising a strong family. Because of you they can continue on and your memory will give them strength to carry on!!!
    God Bless & My Prayer are with you all

    Grandpa was the greatest man I’ve ever known, and he will definitely be missed. I’ve lost a big piece of my soul now that he’s gone. I hope that the time my son had spent with grandpa was enough to influence my baby to grow up to be just like him. Grandpa, you were my provider, my protector, my teacher, and the best father figure any girl could ever ask for. I love you grandpa, you will never be forgotten.

    Love has not gone, our family will carry on, and the legacy of man so loved remains strong. A symbol of strength and compassion, no doubt, a man of action whom’s genrosity warmed our hearts. A sly comedian bound to discover a smile and always prepared to go an extra mile for all of his loved ones. He will surley be missed, but I’m kinda jealous of the bliss he has now become one with… Love you Granddad and thank you for all you’ve been.
