Diane and Family - so sorry to hear the news about your mother. Sincere condolences to you all.
"Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;"

Cousin Emma will forever remain in the hearts of cousin Judy & Debbe. I don't know what I would have done without her help and support with my Mom (Judy). I called cousin Emma, Aunt Emma because she was more like an Aunt to me and definitely more like a sister to my Mom (Judy). Aunt Em part of our hearts have gone with you. We will treasure the memories and think of you always. Love You Always & Forever, Judy & Debbe...xo.
