Emily L. Bangs-Orsini

Great teacher-god bless my teacher wen i was just a kid--highland grammar

Mrs. Bangs was my kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Bangs was a kind, passionate and extremely patient teacher. I am 61 years old now, but have not forgotten her, or the care that she provided me and so many others while in our first time away from home. Much love, Mrs. Bangs

Chris I was so saddened to hear about Emily. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have only known you both at my time working at Mount Saint Vincents and Missioncare so I've only seen Emily within the past 7 years. You always have been a wonderful, dedicated husband to her and I'm sure she appreciated you coming every day to spend time with her. God bless you and you will both will be in my prayers.

Chris, Ted and I were saddened to hear of Emmys passing. She was a wonderful friend of the Williamson family. We all have our own memories of Emmy which we will cherish. Jean loved Emmy and I´m sure they´re having tea together again. May all the memories give you comfort in the coming days, you will be in our prayers. Susan and Ted Williamson

I don´t remember all my teachers but I still remember Miss Bangs from kindergarten at Highland School. She was an absolute sweetheart to a very scared 5-year old me in 1961-62. How lucky we all were to have her as our first teacher. Thank you Miss Bangs!

Chris, I am sorry to hear of EmmyLou´s passing. She was the first cousin of my dad, Paul Tatro. I have fond memories of visiting their home in Holyoke where we would get to see Uncle Gilbert, Aunt Emily, EmmyLou, and for some time, Great Grandma Bangs. I was always in awe of EmmyLou´s vast doll collection! She certainly made a difference in the world having touched the lives of so many kindergarten students. May she rest in peace, and may your fondest memories of time spent together bring you...

We are sorry for your loss, Chris. We know how much you loved her and she loved you. She will always be with you. Love and prayers, Dan and Anne
