Eugene Bell Obituary

In loving memory of a dear Uncle,

It is so very hard to believe that it has been five years, since God took my dear Uncle to be with Him! His sad passing left much heartache, but his most, wonderful legacy has lived on in the many, precious memories he has left behind with his beloved family and devoted friends! I, personally, thank my dear Uncle for all of the very special memories he has left me! I greatly cherish them! I forever will love and miss my dear Uncle! Earth's loss is Heaven's gain! My continued love, thoughts and prayers to his beloved family!

Always in heart & mind,
Donna

Eugene "Lefty" Bell: A wonderful guy. I went to school with him at Murphy Grade School in the mid 1940's. If you ever met him, you would not forget him! He was easy going and had many friends. I have many fond memories of our school days. My sympathies to his family and may he rest in peace. Goodbye to a Great Guy.

My uncle was a wonderful, loving, honorable man! He will never be forgotten, for he carved his name on my heart and his memories in my mind! In loving memory of a life well-lived!

"If Tears Could Build A Stairway"

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

I Love You Dad, Terri

I knew you were hurting although you wouldn't cry,
And could see you were suffering, see the pain in your eye
I wanted to comfort you, to hold you, be with you that day,
You looked so helpless and frail while in bed you did lay.

I watched as you shivered from a new pain,
And wondered how I might have handled the same.
I wanted to scream, to shout, and to yell,
You said you were fine although your skin was so pale.

I knew in my heart your time was near end,
And wished I could take you, your body to mend.
I knew that soon God would be your closest friend,
You told me many times that's how it would end.

I stood there watching as each breath came slow,
And fought to find courage, my emotions were low.
I promised you when the time came that I'd not cry,
You never saw my eyes wet, always they were dry.

I held your hand as I silently said goodbye,
And knew in my heart that soon you would die.
I stroked your forehead and said how I loved you,
You nodded and smiled and I knew that you knew.

I no longer care, my tears I can't hide,
And as I stood there waiting for death by your side.
I knew then that God was your closest friend,
You had told me many times that's how it would end. God Was Your Closest Friend

THANKYOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME AND FOR BEING THE BEST MAN I HAVE EVER MET I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU GOD BLESS

It takes some darkness for us to see the stars, and a lifetime to reach them. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are still with us in spirit. Lefty's light always glowed in the many ways he helped others, never expecting anything in return. I've never known anyone as kind and caring. My family has been blessed abundantly by knowing him for many years and will always have the fondest memories of his neat smile and eyes that would light up, especially when he spoke fondly of his family. Lefty had many friends because he truly knew how to be a friend.
Our loss is Heaven's gain. He has probably already done a complete landscape job of the mansions and gardens and is working on the fountains next!
May our Lord richly bless and comfort all of you.
Anne Butterfly & family.

Thanks for the great memories, our thoughts and prayers are with you,
