Hello Fran, A blast from the past. I just happened upon this notice. I lost my Mum at 96 years a few years ago, and in sympathy with your loss, I send my warmest condolences to you and yours.

Dear Fran and Family,

We sympathize with you on the loss of your mom, to whom we know you were deeply devoted.

We hope you will find what comfort you can in the fact that she was with you to a fine old age . . . and that you made her life such a happy one.

We can well appreciate your great sense of loss. But we hope you'll find some small measure of comfort that she was so well-loved in your community and she will be long remembered by many.

Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family.

Just wanted to say that I had the pleasure of meeting Emma and Lou many years ago but unfortunately lost touch.I often thought of her.
What a true lady she was.Probably the most genuine person I have ever met in my life.
Guaranteed a "Head Angel" position in Heaven.
May she rest in peace.

Emma is at peace and most certainly at home with Almighty God, Her Savior Jesus Christ and His beloved mother Mary for whom Emma had a deep love and devotion. Emma was a very special person whose love, wisdom and strength often overcame the difficulties of family and friends alike.I admired and respected Emma greatly and could not ever have chosen a better or nicer mother-in-law.
