Esther, I am so sorry to hear that your Aunt Emma had passed away, I always enjoyed her when she would visit with her Mother and spend time with you and her other family members. I always thought that Emma, Louise, Helen and your Mother were always so happy and jovial when we all got together, there was never a dull moment. I have great memories of listing to the things happening in their everyday life and enjoyed them for who they were, Your aunts and cousin whom I had the privilege of being their friend.
Sorry Emma I were friends when she lived here so many friends gone
AUNT EMMA WAS A FUN LADY ALWAYS TRYING TO DO THINGS WITH HER FAMILY.
