Billye Jean Bell

Billye, I still miss you more than anything. It is just not far that I have been so lucky and lived so much longer than you did. We were the same age and had so much fun in Wiesbaden. I am so glad I got to see you again in Houston at one of our get togethers. I am still hanging in there at 83. You just never know. I didn't think I would make it to 70. You will always be in my dreams and I hope all of your kids are doing well. This has been a terrible year with all the virus problems.

Billy and my path crossedseveral times in our life. First, we met at Scott AFB and saw we were both wearing the same printed skirt at the dance. A little overa year later, Billye ended up at H.H. Hap Arnold High School in Wiesbaden, Germany where I was already attending. Due to the fact there was little housing available for the Bells, Billy had to leave for school at 5:30 AM to go. When I found this out, and told my parents, we extended an invitation for Billye to stay with us in our 25...

Billye was a true friend for over 50 years, I will truly miss her! She was even in the delivery room with me when my first child was born! I'm thankful she is no longer in pain and I know that she is finally at peace on her beloved ranch with all her "critters". Her family has my sincere sympathy.

My sincere sympathy is extended to Billye's family & loved ones.

We met again in San Antonio after too many years, and thoroughly enjoyed trying to catch up with Billye and Richard. We miss you now, but we'll see you again, I'm sure...

Billye was my one true love in high school even though she was not really interested in anyone. We can be so thankful that we were able to reunite again after so many years. Billye was always a top class individual and will always be in a special place in my heart.

May God Bless. We will miss you, Billye.

Billye has been a very good friend of ours for many years, ever since her husband Frank Hodge worked at the NCO Academy at Kirtland AFB in the 1970's. We had a very special friendship with her and her family. We continued to keep in touch with her ever since, every Christmas and during each year we comunicated by card and e-mail. Gordon and I will truly miss her. With Fondest Aloha

We will miss you cousin. Although the family is far flung, and rarely see each other, I will charish the memories of 3 years ago at your beautiful ranch. God bless you Billye Jean.
