Richard and I wanted to express our condolences to the families of Charles and Jack. Aunt Emily will surely be missed by all. We remember onetime visiting her and she served a cheese pops she had made before dinner. She gave me that recipe over thirty years ago and I still make them today...and get rave reviews.
