Gwen and family,
I was Coach Bell's principal for 5 years, 1969-1974 at J.P. Carr Junior High and we kept in touch over the years. Coach Bell was one of the nicest, very humble, efficient people that I ever knew. He was one of my favorite people. He affected so many people in a positive way.
I will miss my friend.
We will be out of town at the time of the funeral but our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I played for Coach Bell at Heritage High School. He was a great man and friend. He would always tell us that "Nothing is easy, but you cannot be afraid." He always treated everyone fairly and will be greatly missed.

Sister Bell

I just spoke with you in church last Sunday, 10/01/06, and also in Sunday School, when you stated that you and your husband (Coach Bell) never had any serious arguments throughout the entire marriage,only normal disagreements.
To God Be The Glory

I will always remember that Testimony,and the Peace on your Face after you said it. (Amen)

God Bless You My Sister, I will miss seeing the 2 of you togetber.
