Minister Emma was a staple in my life while I attended Dominion Ministries International. She loved the Lord and she loved her family. She loved Jesus and with that beaming laugh of hers she shared His joy with many. We had many many conversations about life, love, and heartache. I left her presence always feeling uplifted. I will cherish her memory and I am thankful for our time together. Prayers for her son Ray and her family. Kemba

I first met sister Emma and her son Ray in the 90's when we attended Columbus Christian Center church in Columbus, Ohio. It did not take long to realize that she was a precious soul.
We all categorize people and things. One of those classifications would be "Genuine/Trustworthy/Sacred Soul."
Usually the number of people in this category are fewer than in other categories even if we live long.
Even though I have seen or spoken to Emma very few times since she moved to the Dayton area, without a doubt she is to me a genuine, trustworthy, sacred soul.
Emma, you will always resound in my memory as a real, solemn person that I will honor as I live and do ministry on earth for Christ and His kingdom.
You are indellible.
I salute you.
Love,

Mark P. Hill
Your eternal friend.

I worked with Emma and she was one of a kind. She was always so joyful and she could cheer you up in an instant. I treasured our friendship. She was a beautiful soul. I know she is with her Savior now but I will miss her tremendously. She always sent me messages at work to cheer me up and to remind me of my faith in Jesus and how blessed we are due to his sacrifice. I will miss her sweet smile and that laugh! She was a special person and I am so glad I got to be her friend.
