    Harrell, not long after God called you home, I visited this link and wrote a poem from my heart. It has mysteriously disappeared, however, you always knew without a doubt, the love & friendship we two always shared. Not to mention the "trouble" we two just happened to get into when we were kids growing up. I will meet you in Heaven brother. Until then, tell my family that I love & miss them all! Your loving sister, Margie
