Wilbur Bell

A T RIBUTE TO O UR P APA

Papa, Even though you are no longer here with us, you will always be in our hearts. We will forever miss you, and the love that you have for us, your grandchildren, and the rest of your family. We appreciate all of your talks, wisdom and everything you've done for us. You are the greatest example of what a man should be. You've taught us so much from start to finish and you've always been here. Oh, how we want to hear you sing,

your voice, your laughter or even hear you crack a joke, just one more time. We cherish every memory you made with each one of us, and because you’re irreplaceable, it hurts so deeply to see you go. We pray that you are enjoying your new home, and we are anticipating the next time we will see you again. Gone but not forgotten, Darian, Daniel, De'Ani and K'ari

I remember our family times spent together. Papa would share his funny childhood stories. He had so many, he could go on and on and on. He was so loving, caring and kind and I will always remember his warm hugs. Love, London Bell Papa was a wonderful man. He always made hearing about them Cowboys!! He was their number one fan! I will miss our talks most of all and all the stories he would share. I will cherish them all. I am honored and forever grateful that he was my Papa. Love, Cleveland Bell Jr. My Papa, a great man. I am going to miss him. Not for his great dance moves or his smoothness, But for his kind heart and the way he took care of his family. For the love of God and wisdom that he poured into me. I am going to miss visiting him, him sharing secrets on how to bbq the best brisket (my mom's favorite), and our family vacations. And of course,

I love my Papa Wilbur with all my heart. He was more than just my Papa. He was my teacher, my coach, and one of my favorite people in the world. Some of my best memories will always be those times he'd take me outside and teach me his favorite football routes. I'd mess them up almost every time, but he never got mad. He'd just laugh, show me again, and cheer me on like I was in the

NFL. Also, one thing I'll miss even more than the football lessons is Papa incredible soul. He had this warmth that made you feel safe and loved when you were with him. He was so kind, always cracking jokes and making everyone smile, and he somehow always had my favorite candies ready for me. It's little things like that, that I'll miss most. He made a lasting impression on my life, and I'll carry his love and memories with me for the rest of my life. Love, Christian Bell

Papa even though you are not here anymore. You will always be in our hearts. WE LOVE YOU!
