I got to know Emma and the Shoemaker family when I was a kid running around the Presbyterian Church on Derry Street, Harrisburg. Later in the 1970s I got to meet Emma again, when my family moved into a home in Rutherford. She was a very loving person to my family and all people who knew her. She loved her family and friends with all the love that she possessed. May she rest in peace and my deepest sympathy to the extended Shoemaker family.
