Hi Dallas Sorry to hear about your Mum Please get in touch
Belle was such a firecracker! Will cherish the memories of her adventurous spirit, age was not a factor in her life. I loved drinking Margaritas with her in Mexico, chatting about anything and everything, she was truly the 'belle' of the Calgary Stampede when she would go - came to understand Dallas' love of shopping through her Mum. She was such a lady. And so gracious. We have lost a true role model on how to live life to the fullest. Cathy
Hello Dallas and Karen Your Mom sure lived life to the fullest with a memory and energy that we have never encountered with anyone else. We are sure she has left her footprint all over the country and will be remembered by all who were fortunate to meet her. As your lives continue your Mom will continue to bring a smile to your face every time you travel down memory lane. Just thinking about Auntie Belle and her zest for life makes us smile. Love to you both. Loraine and Keith Hill (Keith 403-819-7938)
Dallas, So sorry to hear about your mom's passing. We are cousins and I had been trying to find the family, but didn't know what had happened to "Aunt Belle". Her grandfather was Samuel Walter Emfield, my great-grandfather's (Lawrence Clifford Emfield's) brother. We would love to make contact with you; were just a bit south of you in Idaho. We've got some pictures and other family memorabilia we'd like to share with you. Please contact us at 208-238-0135 or via email at: eemfield@msn.com. Again, our condolences, but also very happy to have "found" you too! Eric & Jennifer Emfield
