I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a loving parent--no matter the age. I did not know her well but remember she was a sweet lady with a beautiful smile. We can see where all of you got your good looks! Will be praying for you.
Many of my childhood memories include Aunt Emma Lee. Our families had lots of good times together. I always admired her beauty and kindness .and as I grew older learned to admire her many talents. I will miss her and always treasure her painting of a winter scene that she gave me.. She was special. I loved her.
May God comfort you,,her family, at this most difficult time.
To all of the family, thank you so much for sharing the memorial video. Walk down memory lane. We loved Emma Lee and John both. Had such great times with them and enjoyed being with them for so many years. So sorry we could not be there today. Our love and prayers to all.
What a wonderful lady she was. I am very glad you had her for so many years as I had my mama. We are very fortunate to have had such mothers who always gave and gave of themselves for their families. Her influence will never leave you but you will miss her everyday. Sorry I didn't know of her passing in time to attend services. God bless you all.
So sorry for your lost. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I wish I could be with you all and give you a hug. She was a sweet lady, and I know you will miss her greatly.
At Uncle Doug and Aunt Bridgett's house over Thanksgiving, when I was younger, she always treated me like I was just another one of her grandkids. It takes a special kind of person to make others feel like they are part of your family, and that is exactly the kind of person she was.
Love you. Praying for you all to have peace and comfort.
