Steve, Katie and I enjoyed our time with Emily in Decatur, especially during social occasions at the Temple. She was so pleasant and fun to talk to, and she made me smile. Emily always kvelled when I asked her about her son from St. Louis! We offer our condolences.

Deepest condolences to you Steve. Your Mom was the kindest lady with a welcoming heart. She spoke lovingly always of you and your lovely wife. I remember how often you came to Temple Bnai Abraham to be with Mom for festivals. May you find peace and comfort after you have mourned.

I remember when we first go to know each other I feel in love with her because she asked me every day I want you to call Steve and tell him I'm not along you are here and I said ok then she said why haven't you called my son yet now what's your name again I said Emily it's me Kim she said I'm glad you are here

Steve, May your mother's memory be a blessing and condolences from Marvin, David and Hedy Tick.

Steve, Please accept my deepest condolences on your mom's passing. I remember her being such a vibrant woman although it's been years since I've seen her. May She Rest in Peace.
