Now that I've come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low; Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to Jesus whom we know, Laugh at the things we used to do. Miss me, but let me go. The Bell Family Acknowledgment The family would like to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and support that has been given to the family. We Love you all.

Reflections of His Life

Order of Service

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Reverend Eric Ginyard, Presiding

Revelation 21:6-7 (KJV)
