Dearest Ray and Family,
Ted and I send our Love and Sympathy to you and your Sweet Family. We met Emily 42+ years ago and she has always been so very special to us. She never talked a lot, but when she made a statement, it was from her Heart and you were left with an Imprint of Love. She will always be with me. Her cute and sweet smile and sometimes teaseing little way. She was very Special!
Emily, Katherine F., Miriam E. and Margarte P. Special Ladies who took me under their Wings and taught me the Wonders of the American Legion Auxiliary and the how to GIVE to our Country. Wonderful Ladies! Thank you for sharing her with us.

Dear Uncle Ray and family,

We were saddened to hear of the loss of Aunt Em. We will always hold found memories of her close to our hearts. She was a rock solid Aunt who knew what she said and meant. Guess she had to though to put up with Uncle Ray and pesky little nephews like me! :)
Sorry we aren't closer and cannot attend her funeral and celebrate her life with you and the family.

Love and Prayers,

Barry, Judy, Inga, and Sonja Christensen

To my Uncle Ray, Cousins- Charlene, Jodine and Candy.
Your mom was one of a kind.Steadfast, thorough and always seemed to find a way to do what was best for the moment. I remember my mother saying how she and Em saved sugar ration stamps during WWII to make candy for Christmas. Our mothers were the kind of mothers that grew up knowing how to make do with what they had and always did the best they could despite hardships and challenges. Emily was a good woman and a solid contributor to her community, church and the Baglien family. We will miss her greatly. Love Vivian
