Emma was a wonderful person and will certainly be missed by her family and friends. I know she had a special place in her heart for her niece Ingrid and her cousin Vilma and there was much love in that place. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Emma was a sweet lady--always a smile. I knew her for 9 years as her hairdresser at Judy's Place, now The Style Studio. My deepest sympathies to you all.
