Rick & Paul, It’s been a long time since we lived & played together on Moulton St, but I remember Auntie Em well. Milk, cookies & running through the gladiolus garden. Visiting at Meig’s Point in the summer. What a life! Mom (Joan) and I send our condolences to you and your families. Our thoughts are with you.
Sincere regrets that we were unable to attend the Service for Emily yesterday, which our daughters attended and reported as being quite wonderful. The nice turnout was testimony to the wonderful life she led and the many people who share our sympathies in her passing. love, millie and peter
