I used to own a beauty shop in Ritz Center in the late 1970s and I remember Emily was a customer and I especially remember her giving me a Christmas ornament that she was decorating with gold-leaf paint as she sat in the shop and I still have the ornament. It sits on my mantle every Christmas since I no longer bother with putting up a tree. And it has the initials E.T. on the bottom.

I will really miss Aunt Emily. She was the most positive person I ever knew. She so loved her family and life. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with her. She will be truly missed.
