I've known Miss Emma for roughly 6 months in which we shared the same environment, her warmth made me feel as though I've known her for years, and I truly appreciated all that you've taught this 'old city girl' about gardening! ??May the seeds of your loving memory continue to bloom in all who was touched by your beautiful spirit.My heartfelt condolences and prayers, for the family members and close friends, in hopes that they will find comfort in knowing that she is forever safe, and that she was so loved, that the Good Lord called her home in the most peaceful and loving way possible. In times of sorrow, and reflection, when the heart feels heavy and eyes are full, please take comfort in these few words …Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,Still loved, still missed and very dear.From the time of their entrance, until their depart,The love they've imprinted, forever lives in our hearts.[Good-Night kiss, Emma]

My sincere condolences are with Emma's loved ones and I hope that the promises from the Scriptures will help them to endure her loss. Acts 24:15 says, " And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. " And what a wonderful time that will be for Emma. Psalms 37:29 warmly says that, ' the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.' Jehovah God really cares and wants to bring comfort to grieving ones. jw.org
Dear Aunt Emma was absolutely the most loving and kindest woman that ever graced God's green earth, She helped me as a single father by raising my daughter when she was a toddler. She never wanted any money in return and blessed my child with love and a church foundation. I am saddened by her loss, but it is the Lord's gain. We will see her again when our time comes. She is at peace and we can be assured that joy will come in the morning. Blessings to her sons Ozzie and Teddy. May the comfort of our Lord and Savior be with you always. Willie
