Love and going to miss my Auntie Em. So sad she's passed and also grateful we have gotten to see her a couple of times in the last few years. Mom and Emma had a lifetime friendship and they were always so silly when they were together.

Emma is so precious to me and my family! She always treated me like one of her own. Quick witted! You could never get anything passed her, but then, raising the three sons she did, you can understand why. She is brilliant, talented, and so full of love and laughter. Miss you already my dear, sweet friend!
