I think of you so often. You were such a bright spot in our academy class, everyone thought the world of you. Every time I go to Charleston, memories flood by mind. Rest well my friend.

It’s hard to believe that it has been 15 years since you were taken from us. Daddy, I wish I could feel your presences, dream about you..but it’s been awhile. Please come find me in a dream. I love you!

Daddy, I come to this page often to "talk to you" but I just end up backspacing it all. I can't even begin to say how much I miss you. God gave me a gift...my baby boy (not so much baby now) looks just like you. I can almost hear your laugh if you were to look at him. "that's my boy, he is beautiful because he looks just like me" Peyton is almost 10. He is such a little man and wow is he stubborn! That can't possibly be a Bell gene so Let's blame it on Jason. Harper is 5. She is sweet with just enough sass. Ok, so maybe she has an abundance of sass. Her cup runneth over. I am sad that they will never physically know you. I feel like they were cheated. My heart has little band aids on it from the kids, they hold my heart together when it feels like it wants to break from sadness. I miss you and I love you!

My love, thoughts and prayers are being sent to you all!! I am heartbroken to "learn" of your loss. There are NO WORDS that can truly express how deeply sorry I am. I am confident your joyful reunion in heaven will bless you eternally!! Loosing my own brother Doug a few months ago myself reminds me of the daily "pain" and loss you feel. Sending you all HUGE HUGS and lots of prayers!! What a wonderful day it will be when we can see them again!!

I've never had the opportunity to meet you, but I am very thankful that I got the chance to meet Doug. Even though I haven't met Valarie yet, I am thankful to have her as a friend as well. Their friendship to me and many others is a true reflection of you & your wife.
Rest in Peace William Bell

Happy Heavenly Birthday Baby! As I write this I sit and think of our plans for the future, we where to take the phone out, remove the mailbox, buy a travel trailer and go so we could finally enjoy life after years of working,and raising two most amazing daughters any parents could ever ask for!All of this was cut short for us as you were taken from me. Now I just imagine how much fun we would have had together traveling and seeing new things and sharing in life's happiness. We both have been cheated out on alot. I love you baby.Happy Birthday!

Rest in peace my brother in blue. You will always be missed and never forgotten. To all that did not know William, he touched the lives of thousands. I attended the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy (Class 428) with William and he was often what kept the class going. William was very up beat, always smiling, proud of his family and would give you the shirt off his back. It has been almost 8 years and it is still heart wrenching/upsetting to visit this site. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Our daughter Valarie was just talking about you and how she wishes you could see her & our grandbabies, that you would get such a laugh out of her and that she got her brains from you because she will soon graduate with her Masters Degree! I told her you are ALWAYS looking down on us and smiling about something. She said momma I hope he shows me a sign on graduation day! I said do you remember Gail crying at her wedding as she waited for Doug to escort her to get married and she said momma I wish dad was here, and just as she approched the place to stand to get married there was her sign a beautiful double rainbow!And i know you will be at graduation too cheering her on! I love you and still miss you dearly! Love Always Betty
