Emeline was one of the sweetest, friendliest people I know. I miss seeing her in church at Rockingham Court and talking with her. She always asked about my sister, Marie, before Marie passed. I was out of town and missed Emeline's funeral but Madeline Helms told me it was really a special service. She will be sadly missed and will hold a special place in my heart..

I felt so sad when I read Ms. Bohon had passed. She was one of my favorite patients in Dr Spetzler's office. Everyear she would give $20 for me to give to American Cancer Society for her. I'll miss her smiles and hugs!

Bohon Family: I worked with Emeline about 38 years ago at Community Hospital's Dietary Dept. I was just a teenager & she was such a sweet lady to never make me feel like "just a kid". I know that she truly loved her family and always spoke of you all with such love. My thoughts & prayers are with you!

Cletus, Your mother was a wonderful lady. I will miss "our talks" that we had and all the laughing on cleaning day. She will truly and sadly be missed...Please remember: She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels by the clouds and stars and past where no one sees and she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting smiling saying "Don't worry about me." Love you, Donna (and Bodie)

Cletus....I'm greatly sorrowed to hear of the loss of your mother. May God be with you and your family and bring you comfort and strength through the coming days. Always keep your memories close at heart. I hope you enjoy the following poem. I've found the meaning to bring some comfort to the heart and soul.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Emeline will be sadly missed at Christian Village. She had a very kind and caring way about her and was always interested in other people's well being. She cared about her neighbors and would take meals to those in need of encouragement and had a listening ear. She was an asset to those who knew her. Deborah Purser ( Service Coordinator)

My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy extend to the family. I always enjoyed seeing all my cousins at the Waldron family reunion each year -- and she will be missed.
May God bless and comfort the family at this time.
