We are so sorry for your lose. My mother is a resident of Oakdale and has shared a table in the dining room and for Bingo with Emma for almost 2 years now. Emma was always so gracious and sweet. She'd call me "Honey" and wish me a nice day or evening whenever I was leaving. My Mom thinks of Emma as her best friend at Oakdale. May you find comfort in knowing that her suffering is over and the love she has for you all will never fade. May God bless Emma and her family.
