Special prayers for the family of Emma Helen Willis.
Emma's mother, Oshell Parker, and my grandfather, Jodie Parker, were brother and sister. Emma andI went to Shiloh Elementary, Washington Public School and Tuskegee Institute High School together.
I saw Emma a few weeks ago when I came home. She was radiant as ever and very happy to see me.
Emma, rest in peace and may your family find peace and grace.
Love,
Your Cousin, Sonjia Parker Redmond

Sending heartfelt condolences to Cynthia Willis Ray and family. I met Emma Helen Willis in 1978 when I became her daughter's teacher. Mrs. Willis was a loving, caring mother who always advocated for the best for Cynthia. "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints". Psalms 116:15
