Almost a decade? You are so much happier than you ever were here, I'm sure. Missing you. We talk about you a lot (all good of course).

It's been 5 years, yet you are not forgotten. Since then, your youngest sibling, Helen, has joined you. Mary's son, John, has passed. Shelia's son, Johnny, has also..same day! Even my father, your ex is gone. It's getting downright lonely here but you are in His presence. We are at peace because you are at peace.

Emma had so many other family members we couldn't include in the obit. Her only brother Eugene Harry Williams (Norma) had a large family. Harry, Norma and their sons Gene and Bobby are gone, but Jim (Ruthie)and Jack (Linda) are still with us. Her older sister, Mary Volmer predeceased her. Mary had three children, Shelia McGuckin (Lee), John Gunn (Roberta) and Andrew Gunn (Olga). Sadly Andrew is also gone. There are many grand-nieces, nephews, great grand nieces and nephews and a few great greats for good measure. Mom was a survivor.
