I have such wonderful memories of growing up with the Root family. We were neighbors and enjoyed sharing one another's homes and playing together. Emily was such fun to be with, sharing laughter and food with all of us. My sympathies go out to each of you. Bless you, Marla, for taking care of your mom. I miss each of you and send my love and prayers.
