My condolences to the Emburgia family. I remember your wonderful mother well. Our family were dental patients. As a child, Dr. Emburgia [and Mrs. Emburgia] would calm us children during dental work by singing: "When you eat pizza pie, it will hit you in the eye. That's amore..!! <3 Wonderful memories. May the both rest in peace! [Lani Torres MacDonald, Esq. of St. Petersburg, Florida - Torres Family of Vineland]

My condolances to the Emburgia family. I remember Anna whenever I went to the Dr. Emburgia's office ... This was about 40 years ago, but I always remember she would give me a lollipop or an eraser when I had a good check-up. Both Mr. and Mrs. Emburgia will always be remembered by my family for many years to come.
