To the family of Mr. George Howard Bell Sr.

They say "Life Goes On" just give yourself time to mourn and accept and to heal,though none of that offer much comfort right now with the sorrow and loss you must fell...But deep in your heart if you trust and believe that memories and love never cease,you`ll find God is waiting and wants nothing more than to offer you comfort and peace.

"Our Life Was Like a Song"
We wrote our special song.
We wrote the special notes.
In our own tone.
In our own key.
We chose the melody.
We chose the theme.
We chose the chorus.
We created an album full of songs, Each song bears our name,
and have a special sound unique to us,
for generations to come.
The quiet places in my heart is filled with sweet echoes of love.
our song will play on in memory.

To the Bell family, May the grace of Almighty YeHovah be with you at this time and always. We hold fond memories of George's laid back personality, and excellent "basketball" skills on the court at Crestwood High School. He lives on in our memories.
