My Most WONDERFUL and PRECIOUS Daddy … how I miss you so very deeply . I will ALWAYS be grateful for the lifetime of love you showered upon me . My first palpable  memory of your doting love , protection and strength was during my pre-school years. I can still still see and feel every nuance of where we lived and your daily winter routine of bundling me up in a handmade quilt made my maternal  great grandmother Elvira . You would so deftly descend the steep stairs in our apartment to carry me to our car , which you  already so thoughtfully warmed up . You’d   gently place me in the back seat and drive me to preschool . I LOVED that routine and you continued your demonstrations of love , protection and guidance throughout my life . I appreciate every single sacrifice you made for our family and most importantly the  peaceful , calm , dignified , LOVING spirit in which you carried yourself  You were accomplished ,yet humble , stern, yet flexible , serious, yet humorous . I thank you for modeling for me the kind of man to marry . I love the way  you  always loved and valued Mother too . I  have so many beautiful memories of holidays shared with us  at our home after I married . You were such a wonderful POPPY to our sons and loved and respected by my late husband Eric . I’m so happy my choices in life pleased you and you told me so . I am forever grateful for every single walk we took together , every conversation, every correction you gave me , every dance and laugh we shared . I appreciate your leading our family to Christ and your example of walking the walk of a godly man .  There isn’t enough room for me to share just how EXTRAORDINARY you were Daddy . I will love you and appreciate you forever . Rest peacefully in the house of our Heavenly Father . I love you beyond measure and you are forever in my heart and mind Daddy ❤️
Always your baby girl ,
Tam

I will be praying with you & for you today
as you celebrate the life of Mr. Bell.  I remember him as a very kind gentleman 
and was always generous with  sharing knowledge that was always beneficial                 &  much appreciated by me.  God will 
take care of you.

Rev Dr Bell was a true man and a true man of God. He was strong yet sensitive. He was a gentleman yet assertive.  He was compassionate and led by example. Every word and action was a demonstration of how we are to walk with the Lord. His work on earth is done but I know that he will live on in all the lives that he touched. I know I will never forget him. May he rest in peace. All my love to my cousin Lorraine. Who I love dearly. To  Tammy and Ray Jr may you find peace during this difficult time.
Warmest Regards Dawn Hollister

Rainey, Tammy and Ray. Sorry about your loss. Poppy was a great man of God. He gave meaningful advice in a positive way.  He will be missed by all.  Our prayers are with you all.

Mrs.  Bell, Tammy and Ray.  You all have my deepest condolences.  Mr. Bell set a fine example of what a role-model should strive to be. He always gave great advice in a kindly manner without judgment. I appreciate all of the nuggets of truth he shared and I’ll miss his witty sense of humor.  Thank you for sharing him with us. 


Love,

Oliver 3rd 😀

To “Poppy”
Thank you for being an awesome Godfather, an amazing marriage counselor and most of all a wonderful man of God. You have been an inaugural part of my marriage and  we are so grateful that  you showered your wisdom and knowledge with us. 
May you rest in peace!!!
Love you so  much Terry and Jackie Buford!!!

Lorraine, I have known you and  Raymond  for so many years.  I remember when you first met Raymond and how you two fell in love with each other.   I care about you so much  and I share your sadness.
Love You,

My dearest Lorraine,

I'm so thankful that God united us in friendship decades ago. The prayers and supportive conversations shared with you and Ray during my growth in ministry will forever be cherished. The two Dr. Bells, what a team. I will continue to pray for you, Tammy, Ray Jr, the grands, and extended family  during this challenging time. Much love, always!

Thanks to Dr. Bell for serving as a role model for myself  and other men of Greenwood.  I’m a better husband, better follower of Christ, better person, because he crossed my path.
Blessings of comfort to the family 🙏🏾.
Tyrus Perry

Getting to know you both by way of my sister -in -law Delores Booth,  has been a blessing. 
I treasured our friendship as minister spouses.  I'm praying  that God keeps his comforting arms around you.  You have my deepest sympathy. Rev.  and I love you much.

  Rev.  Arnold and Sandra Joyner
