Dear Dr. Pruyn,(Fred) and Emily's entire family, I wish to extend my deepest and sincere sympathy to you all.
Emily was a very,very special friend to me and my family. I will miss her great smile, and caring ways. Her warm greetings, always with a kiss and a hug. I'll miss her cheerful spirit, the way she made holiday's and special occasions a joy. Her good cooking and the wonderful times we've shared,for nearly 20 years, especially our manhattans. I'd like to toast a great lady. To you Emily, thank you for your friendship,love and support. It is with great saddness I bid you a heartfelt farewell. Until we meet again may you be at peace and you will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. With much love always. Jim Aldrich
