Though I didn't know my great Aunt Emilia well, I will always remember how extremely talented she was with her crocheting. I feel very lucky to own several of her crocheted pieces, and I will always think of her whenever I see them.

Some of my happiest childhood memories are spending summertime days at Aunt Emilia and Uncle Frank's. She will always be kindly remembered as a very special lady and will be missed by all who knew her.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Emilia's passing. Although we should all be so lucky to live to the ripe old age of 101! I have such fold memories of Aunt Emilia and Uncle Frank and the summers we spent at the ranch.
Stan and I will be at the rosary and funeral.
