Emma Bailey was the most wonderful mother in law a guy could have, our lives have been blessed beyond measure. Through the past 35 plus years we have been able to sit down and talk about everything, no subject was too tough for Miss Emma/Nanny. I praise God and Thank Jesus Christ for having placed her in our lives. Nanny has walked the walk God shares with us in Proverbs 31, 10-31.
