When Emma and Ginny would come to our store, I knew they would be coming through my check out line. Emma always put a smile on my face and was so kind. We all felt like we knew all of her family members, as she always shared great stories and the love she had for them. We should all be so blessed to live 95 wonderful years and be loved as much by everyone as Emma was.

Dear Gary,Julie and Family, We were so sorry to hear about your dear mothers death. Little did we know that when we saw you at the little restaurant two Sundays ago would be the last we would talk to your mother. Of course she always was so loving and gracious, and we will never forget her for that. May God be with you and comfort your hearts. We are in Alabama at our daughter Paula's and she and her family send their sympathy as well as our daughter Lisa in Texas.

She will be dearly missed and as just having my own mother pass, I can certainly relate to your pain. Please know in your heart that we can grieve here on this earth, but they are happy with the Lord. Your Mom was very special to me also.
