Not sure what to say?

Felicia, Honey I know you lost a wonderful Mother and your best friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Mom was a wonderful friend to me. When I was sick and in the hospital she even made me chicken soup to get me well. I sure wish I had gotten that special recipe. Jim and I send our love to you.

Felicia and Leroy: Auntie Em always talked about you. She was a joy to work with. She and I would always "smack" each other in the face and say, "She is harassing me!" You are in my prayers. I know Auntie Em is in heaven looking down on all of us and smiling. She has really been missed at Williams Mullen.

Emily was such a joy to know and see at Wiliams Mullen. What a sense of humor she had! She was greatly missed when she retired. She will be missed by all, but am sure she is at peace now. Heaven must be a little rowdy this week!

To Felicia: Whenever your mother spoke the name Felicia here at Williams Mullen, her eyes sparkled as she was filled with pride, and always joy, in her very special daughter. It was obvious to those of us here, that she loved you very much. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with you and your family during this difficult time.

To Auntie Em: I love you and miss the joy that you brought not just to me, but to all of us.

I got news announcing the passing of Ms. Emily from 4 different sources on Monday morning 3/12/08. It was a total shock. Emily & I were "partners in crime". During lunch hours, we visited Costco to sample food for free, we often visited Home Depot, Garden Ridge, or we ate wonton soup every day for weeks and she never complained. Emily was always a "SOUP PERSON", she enjoyed her soup when it was 100 or 20 degrees outside. Ms. Emily Brown always has a special place in my heart. You...

To Emily's Family:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

To Emily:
I hope you know...

I was very saddened to learned about Emily’s passing. After reflecting back on the time spent with Emily, I remember that she was always encouraging me to stand up for myself and do what is right in life. You are an angle Emily.

My deepest condolences to the Brown Family. Take comfort in knowing that Emily was loved by all and missed terribly when she retired. She is resting peacefully in the Arms of Jesus.

I am so sorry to learn of Miss Emily's death. She was a well-loved person who brought much wisdom and laughter to those around her. She will be greatly missed by all those who had the great pleasure of knowing her, but Heaven has gained another shining star.
