To the Moorish family of Brother Archie H. Bey, II
Islam,
To travel this illustrious, Divine and National path in Islam is truly a blessing. I treasure the friendship and brotherhood of our brother, Brother Archie Bey. He and I have been through a lot, learned a lot, and grown a lot in Islam. Allah loved us so that he made us a part of his great leadership team. I, as the rest of the Moors will miss seeing our brother. However, we know Allah has more work for him to do. “The calls of death are always for the best, for we are solving problems there as well as here; and one is sure to find himself where he can solve his problems best.”
We love you brother and Praise Allah for you.
Praise ALLAH!
Peace,

Sylvia, Farah & Family,
I was very sorry to hear the loss of your brother. May the Lord look over you during this sad occasion. I know times seem tough right now, but remember...there's calm after the storm.
Sylvia, we go back aways to the ole 'Blackwell' days...as did our parents. With friend and family support, coupled with faith, you will persevere. Please feel free to contact me, if but for nothing else than to reminisce the days of old.
Sincerely,
Jerome Taylor

To the Moorish family of Brother Archie H. Bey, II
Islam,
We are grateful to Allah for allowing us to have been in the presence of our dear brother, Brother Archie Howlette Bey II. We are celebrating the chemistry of death with mixed emotions. “Man can not die; the spirit-man is one with Allah, and while Allah lives man cannot die.”
“Death is no enemy of man; it is a friend who, when the work of life is done, just cuts the cord that binds the human boat to earth, that it may sail on smoother seas.”
Brother Archie always reminded us of the prophet’s words; imitated often by Brother Archie. “The teacher treads the way; on every span of ground he leaves his foot-prints, clearly cut, which all can see.”
Brother Archie’s physical form will be missed.
Praise ALLAH!
Peace,

Islam,
May Allah continue to bless and keep you. The Prophet taught us that death is no enemy of man; it is a friend who, when the work of life is done, just cuts the cord that binds the human boat to earth, that it may sail on smoother seas. So know Brother Archie is one with Allah now, so all is well. Peace and Love

Bro. Archie Howlett Bey, II ... a brother and soldier, will be missed and remembered by his strength and leadership qualities. He had a way of making you laugh even during his own suffering. Praise Allah that Bro. Archie conquered every foe on this plane of soul and shed this garb of flesh, as it is needed no more.
There is no failure for the human soul, for Allah is leading on and victory is sure!!
Our condolences to every heart that Bro. Archie so richly touched.

Dear Children (Kendall, Mengsa, Iesha, and Matheno),
Please know that you are so loved always but especially now. May this unlimited love give you peace during this difficult time. Know that love is just love even though we may not see it, feel it or recognize it in the form that it is given. It is pure, unconditional, in-spite-of and it never dies.
You are blessed as well to have mothers who have taught you by example what love looks like even under the most dire circumstances and conditions.
You must now teach from all the lessons that your mothers and father taught you and bless yourselves and your children in that understanding and wisdom. I pray for your peace and understanding.
Love always,
Mother/Alvina

For most of my life, Archie was the only father I ever knew. I affectionately called him "Dad" and I still do. It saddens my heart to lose him in much the same way that I lost my bioligical father a few years ago. He will be missed yet remembered and I thank him for loving me and providing a family structure for me. I know I'll always be his "Boo" and that brings me comfort. I love you, Daddy.
Peace!
