You were a very sweet and loving mother in law to me. I was so young and full of nervous energy but whenever you were around you bought about a calming peace for me. You have been greatly missed and will forever be remembered with love.

I worked with Ms. Emma at Pulaski Furniture. Everytime I walked through her area, she would stop and smile and ask me how I was. I will always remember her sweet smile. My prayers are that God will comfort you all as only He can do.

In Christian love,
