My memories of Presbytera Emily are 100% positive. When I was a student at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, Fr Stanley invited my class to dinner at their house. I recall being very impressed with her intelligence, easy charm and good sense of humor. I remember thinking that I hoped that one day I would find a woman like her to be my wife and partner in my ministry.
My deepest condolences to Fr Stanley and the entire family. May our Lord Jesus Christ grant her repose in the dwelling place of the righteous with all the saints. Fr Basil Cosulas
