Not sure what to say?

To the Eldred family,

I am so sorry to just learn of Emily's passing. I worked with her at Olds Manor, and she was a wonderful friend and part of our "group". I feel awful that I was not there for the funeral.

Please accept my condolences and I pray that God will help you get through this difficult time.

My mother is Mary Sue, and although the last time I saw Aunt Emily was in 1990, when she, Mom and Aunt Nancy came to S.C. for a visit, I recall how much she loved animals, something I share with her.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family members at this time.

Grandma Kitty :)

You will be sadly missed but at the same time we rejoice that you are now with our maker. God Bless

I will miss this sweet lady so much~~she loved her little fur babies! Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to share in Emily's life. And bless her family during this time!
