CJ & Naomi,

Emma was a wonderful mother and such a vibrant spirit - I was so fortunate to have spent so much time with her growing up. I have incredibly fond memories of her and thanks to the special bond she shared with my grandmother Mary I had the good graces to be a part of your family. On behalf of my mother, father, and brother Douglas, our deepest condolences. The world is a much emptier place without Emma here. She will be missed every day.

Emma dear,
You have been so utterly without pretense and so very loving to us all.
We will miss you, but still, somehow, will always have you with us.
