My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Miss Emma. When she attended Fourth Baptist Church we always greeted each other and I loved being in the presence of her beautiful smile and her warm embrace. Our loss is truly Heaven“s gain. God bless.

I will always cherish the times we would chat on her front porch and her beautiful smile! Nick was a kind soul inside & out who took the time for others and it will be hard to drive by her home not seeing her sitting on her front porch and to wave at her! Nick will be missed by everyone she knew and will be truly missed.
