I met Emma in McAllen when she stayed at Studio 6 for a short time. She was a very special lady. I will miss seeing her and Moxie. I will miss having lunch with her this winter. She always enjoyed getting out and about. I'll miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with her familyShirley

Amazing, unforgettable, a force of nature and fun....she never left you wondering where you stood or anyone else. She was someone, if you did know, you wished you had and if you did...you are smiling right now thinking of the memories. Thanks for sharing your life and humor.

Missy and Emma adopted me when I really needed another family. I have always been, and will continue to be grateful. I remember Emma as an amazing force of nature. Brainy and beautiful.
