Emma .. I remember Emma giving me large helpings at lunch when i was a kid at Beecher school, she always stopped me and we always had a nice chat. I always remember her walking up my street to my Aunts house , sometimes she would stop and we would have a nice chat. I always loved the Roses in her front yard , they were so pretty !! My Dad and I and my family want you to know that you will be missed. God Bless !!
