Aunt Emily was a very lovely person...I told her once how she resembled Kathry Hepburn...she liked that. I loved her dearly and wished I had talked more with her to glean more family history. She was one of Juliet Low's first scouts, I believe. All of the older generation are now gone and I am among the ones now at the helm of the family tree. Aunt Emily was a dedicated naturalist and lover of the environment. And she loved to laugh at my jokes. She is greatly missed. I love you, Auntie Em!

Margaret; The Brooks 'kids' lost an earthly icon with the passing of this great genteel Lady. Steeped in the history of the south - she is finally back home to rest in her beloved Savannah. Aunt Em lived in an era the rest of us could only experience thru her revelations. This is our legacy; what a rich legacy it is. Her life was precious to all of us. May your heart be at peace with the celebration of her life. Much love from our heart to yours, Bob & Nancy
