I grew up next door to Emma and her family. She was funny and very kind to me. I wish we had stayed in touch. To Yvonne and Linda, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Love, Susan Alexander-Stilz

Sorry for your loss. I remember Emma as a kind friend. I enjoyed being her Secret Sister a few years back. I will miss her.
