Aunt Emma was a very special lady. She was quite talented as a seamstress, as a wonderful cook, and gardening. She was a hard-working wife and mother. She and Uncle Maylon certainly loved Tim. She took care of him for as long as she could. I remember my mother and daddy and she and Uncle Maylon playing Rook on Saturday nights. May she find her rest in heaven.

Aunt Emma and Uncle Maylon were part of my childhood. Uncle Maylon was my daddy's (P.W )older brother. They shared houses together when first coming to Raleigh in the early 40's. Mother always said they spoilded me. Aunt Emma and her sister Marie(whom I was named after) were always so very pretty. Aunt Emma was a wonderful seamtress and made drapies for our first home. She loved bingo and her son Tim. I am sorry I can not be at her sevice, but I will be out of town.

With deepest sympathy, Marie Clay
