So sorry to hear about Emma, Harlan & Kay. I know you'll miss her a lot. I really enjoyed our occasional lunches together at Linden View. I know Mom will miss her as well. Remember the happy times. God bless.

Weep, but briefly, for your loved one as she enters into the Kingdom of God. For she shall possess a joy and peace that is unattainable on God's earthly realm. Rather, rejoice in the everlasting and total happiness, for her eyes have seen God.
Wishing you all much comfort and strength.
