To the Serranos,
I'm quite sure that you won't remember me, but Emily and I shared a room together at Sharp in the late '70's. I remember her warmth, humor, love of her family, help and support to me. We also had much fun together and I came to love her very much. She will be remembered in prayer. You have my sincere and deep sympathy.

Mary S.
