To the Bell Family:
"Be not dismayed whate'er betide, God will take care of you." The life and witness of God's servant, Deacon David Bell, will stand for itself. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."

DJ, Daniel and Angie, my heart is with you right now. Sorry I did not come down to Grandaddy's Wednesday evening but that was the night before Richard had to go to custody court for the boys. I know DJ understands that. Richard and John are heartbroken too. One of your dad's favorite songs keeps running through my head as I try to realize that he has crossed over but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has shaken God's right hand. Love you and will see you soon.
Miss Jane
PS: No Brenda I did not forget you and Stacy and Stanley either. Love you very dearly and will talk to you soon
