Guestbook

  1. I’ve known Emma for at least 60 years. Always thought she had the best sense of humor of anyone I knew. The sky could be falling and she would crack a joke and find something humorous in the situation. Although I didn’t see her often I will miss our chance encounter where she always managed to make me laugh. Rest in peace sweet lady.

  2. Emma and I worked at the Dairy Dip on Maple Ave. in 1958. She was wonderful to work with, a person that lights up your life. I love her like a sister, She was so kind. RIP Sweet Lady. Praying for all loved ones. \’Earth has no sorrow that heaven can\’t heal\” God Bless

  3. Kathy & Neena, I am so sorry to hear about your mom\’s passing. I just recently found out. Sorry, I didn\’t make it to the visitation. I would have been there, if I\’d known. I know you all will miss her. I will be praying for both of you and your families. Love & prayers.
