I just met Ms. Emma in August at the beginning of the school year 2014 . She was my daughter Lexi kindergarten teacher. My daughter loved Ms. Emma so much. Ms. Emma was an excellent teacher. Ms. Emma would tell me I am doing a wonderful job, because I am newbie first time mom. So sad to hear about her passing today.

Emma was a special person. She loved her students and truly cared about reaching each and every one of them. She was a great teacher that will be missed.
Emma was always ready to lend a helping hand, in any situation. I remember how she helped my son in middle school, donated notebooks to my class, and inspired me to attend science professional development meetings during my summer vacations. I learned a great deal and my students benefited. I will miss her and will keep her in my prayers.

To the Christina Family,
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Miss. Emma was awesome at what she did, I had the opportunity of having her as my Teacher for several years at Delgado. What a blessing she was to her students and everyone that came in contact with her. Truly an Angel.

Dearest Murphy, Monique and to all the Christina family:
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. It has been many, many years since I met her but I have a clear recollection of just how sweet and loving she was. Just know that a cousin in Michigan is thinking of you and praying for your family.
God Bless,

May God bless all of Emma's children, their spouses and her wonderful grandchildren during this very difficult time. I have been so blessed to have had Emma in my life as a friend and a coworker. I choose to celebrate her life, not to dwell on the sadness. She lived her life to the fullest, what a pepper! Emma was so full of life, even through all her tragedies, she was always so strong, and so full of love for all, especially the children, how she would fight for the children. Emma you will be sadly missed, but I know you are in heaven watching over all of us, to make sure we take care of the children!

I taught with Emma at Kate Middleton during the 80's, and she was a wonderful teacher and friend. I would see Emma at different places, and she always had a smile on her face. She never complained throughout all of her illnesses. She was always there for her loving husband during the times he was sick. Her family was very important to her. Emma will be missed by all that knew her. Rachel Bergman

My deepet sympathy to all he Christina and Black families. I had no idea Emma was that sick. I am in total shock! We would play games on Facebook and she didn't mention a thing. I loved reading her posts about her kids and grand kids. Both Christina parents left this world way too young! She will be truly missed but never forgotten.

Emma was a warrior and with all that she had gone through she still laughed and told dirty jokes...she couldn't top Sal's joke but she was in a class of her own. I hope to be more like Emma when I grow up. Thank you Emma and l'll be listening for more dirty jokes in the winds.

My love and codolences are extended to Emma's children, their spouses, and her grandchildren; her large loving family, and her many faithful friends. To know Emma was to love Emma. She was a shining light of love, generosity, advocacy, and inspiration. Her love of learning and teaching was shared with students from preschool to college. Her strong will to live was admired by all who witnessed her bravery and courage during her long illness and many remissions. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her and loving her. I will love her forever. Marie
