To the Hale Family,
It was last year when I visited Emma. I was visiting my son, Michael, in Freeland, MD. She remembered me from Prince of Peace. I now live in AZ. Roy and Emma were well respected at POP and were missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a special woman. Jane Cook

Dear Hale Family~
Growing up at Prince of Peace Church,I have only the fondest of memories when I think of Ms. Emma. She was one of the sweetest people you could ever know. She was warm and welcoming, and always had a kind word. I admired her very much. She was a woman of great faith, that we were all blessed to know. I will miss her very much and think of her often. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you know only peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love and blessings, Chris Becker.
