Ms. Emma is a very special lady. She was like a mother to me. I met her when she first moved into The Summit Retirement. She was such a kind hearted individual. It was a great pleasure to have met and had such a special bond. My heart break in the loss of her life. She will be greatly missed. Elizabeth Irwin
