My sincere condolences to my cousins Gus, Ernie and Adriana. Tía Emma had such a great sense of humor!! She always had a funny anecdote to share and make me laugh!
Tía Emma was my mom's(Aurora Martínez) best cousin! That's why whenever we made it back to East Chicago we always visited with them! Tía was so gracious to allow me to spend many nights with Adriana and made me feel right at home! She made the best little powdered sugar butter cookies and even taught me how to make them. I will always have fond memories of Tía in my heart! Now my mom has her best cousin with her in heaven! They'll have so much to catch up on!
