As my mind goes back in time remembering Emma Belle and Argil, so many times you could see them walking along holding hands and giving each other a sweet smile.Though a tear rolls down from my eye, a smile comes across my face as I picture them holding hands again, walking on the shores of Heaven. Emma Belle was such a kind and gracious lady. It was a true honor to have known her.
