I just remember the good times going over to her house and looking at all the Raggedy Ann dolls that she made right in that beautiful house of other collectibles. And to not mention inside the house was just beautifully decorated during the holidays. And Emily was such a wonderful person. She loved everyone and was such a joy to talk to and sharing stories. Emily, you have gained your wings fly high you will be missed. Sending prayers to the family.
