We are so sorry for your loss! We last saw Emily in Cape May and had a lovely visit. We loved her mom, AuntPeg, and shared many good times with the family!

Dear cousins,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I was just thinking about Emily these last few days while I was on Ancestry so I decided to google her, and I just found out that she has passed. So sorry to hear that sad news. I have fond memories of her, especially when I visited her in Florida a few time. She was a lovely person and will be missed.
With love and our deepest sympathy,
Judy and Mark Fletcher

May the family take time to reflect on the time period that I knew Emily while she volunteered for the Southwest Florida Symphony Society. She did a great deal in her quiet way She was selected as a member of the year in 1994-1995.
May she rest in pease.
