I am so honored to have been friends with EmmaLee. She was one of the best people I've ever known. I miss her so much. We became friends in 1989 when our two sons were young and my daughter was born. She has been such a wonderful friend to my family and myself every since.
I take comfort in knowing that you are at peace and pain free. Your love of life has touched so many and I am no exception.
Sleep well sweet Angel.

Thank you for the love and guidance you've shown my family. There truly are no strangers around you. You are an example of fierce loyalty, spirit,values and fight. I regret that I had much too short a time to value your friendship here on earth. Thank you Emma Lee.
