You didn't start with "I don't know the answer to this but..." so you better have the answer!

Ya know, I am pretty sure there wasn't any saying on the bell itself. There was various other things hanging next to it, like the fanny paddle which I always misread as the family paddle. Also a mirror with something written on it like "bless this mess" which now that I write it I see actually has a double meaning if one has a military vocabulary.

I'm seeing yellow or maybe yellowed white almost hand painted letters. Some kind of prayer? Some catchy little jokey thing?
Ya got a clue for us?

I don't think there was any writing on the bell holder. I might still have it....I'll see if I come across it when I'm in sorting mode. It got used too when someone was sick and needed something in the bedroom, wasn't it? The holder might have had a decal on it, but I don't remember.
I do have the Gourmet Kitchen mirror that has the French phrase at the bottom...was this a premonition of Simon's heritage?? Hmmm.
Our fanny paddle went away at a yard sale, I'm sure. How appropriate that Karen found one free! :-)

I was visiting lorne, and he read david's note to me, and I said, wasn't it something like, "Good Bread, Good Meat, Good Gosh, Let's Eat!" ?

Lorne looked at me dumbfounded.

He had googled it, and indeed it was.

And the Mirror said,
"I Believe in You"...

Funny, because every time I looked in it, a little voice always said to me,
"Yeah, right. But you really don't believe that."

(No more, BTW.)
