    I was so sad to learn of Arnold’s death. We were good friends and classmates all through school. He was a wonderful person, always kind and friendly to everyone. I know he will be terribly missed by all of those who were close to him. My condolences go to all his family and friends.

    Our hearts go out to Mrs.Meta Bell and the entire Bell family. We were shocked this morning when one of our coworkers told us about Mr. Bell and we cried. He was such a good man who never failed, every time he came in, to express his love for his precious wife.

    We do not know “why” this happened, We do not understand but May the family find comfort in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our prayers our with you.
    With loving thoughts & prayers,
    Julie Booth-Moran
    and the employees of Century Pharmacy

    All of the Bells were special to me as i was growing up in the ’60’s. I spent many a night with jc, nita, and the boys. Adone was my best friend in H.S. Alvin was my hero when he was at FHS. Arnold was a mentor to me when I played football with him. He would always find time to encourage me to make me a better player.
    I was devastated when Adone passed and the felt same when JC and Nita and then Mikey left us.
    Arnold was a good person. Most of all though, Arnold and all his family were just good people that I’ll never forget.
    Meta and Alvin, I want you to know we all are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

    My name is Katherine McCoy I am James(the oldest grandsons) fiance. Paw Arnold will be truly missed. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and a friend. I will never forget him. The family truly appreciates all the love and support through this difficult time. It feels so different without him, but I know that he is a better world. Please pray for Ms Meta.

    Arnold and his grandson shook my hand and left our work shop Friday.
    I was devastated Tuesday morning when I found that his younger son Travis had called my coworker and told him Arnold had died while riding his Motorcycle Monday.
    Everyone wants to know what happened, but the state of Alabama told his son Monday afternoon that it would be five days before they would release the details of the accident.
    I ask everyone to Pray for strength for Arnold’s wife, which is in terrible health and his sons Arnie and Travis through this time of Grief.
    Arnold was a friend to all and all was a friend to him.
    We’re gonna miss you Arnold.
