Dear Tina and Robin,
John and I would like to tell you how very sorry we are for the loss of your father. I heard a pastor say that one of the greatest gifts God gave us is our memory and as long as we can remember our loved ones will be with us.

I know your father has always been your anchor, the one you could always depend on. The Bell family will always be grateful to Bob for his love and care of our sister Wilma during her many years of illness. There's a special place in heaven for Bob. I love you, girls. Aunt Ollie Mae
