It was always a pleasure to see your sweet mother often at one of your many Christmas brunches over the years. She raised a wonderful daughter. I envied her and your dad and their many travels.
Love you dearly.

My sweet and funny aunt. I missed those big ole smiles from her when I said something silly. She made me laugh and she had her own contagious laugh. I loved spending time with her. My regret is that we didn’t spend quality time. She is no longer in pain and I know she is happy. We are sad for our loss but she is probably thinking up new ways to entertain in Heaven.
Peace to all her family.
I love you Aunt Emily. From your silly niece, Barb
