Hesslink Family.. Sorry for your loss. My children when they were growing up called your mom "The Chestnut Lady". She was always very nice.

To Aunt Emily, you have left us with important gifts. The strength to heal when we have been hurt, the courage to endure when life is hard and the renewable gift of good family to carry on. Thank you ... we have been blessed.
Love always, Loren

P.S. Two other gifts... the gift of gab and the best ice tea. (I'll remember that too.) Love and Prayers to my cousins.
