Emma has been my friend since we were in elementary school although we have been miles apart for years. She was my step Dad's niece and we all loved her very much. 6 weeks ago, when in Savannah, my sisters and I Linda and Lana had the wonderful opportunity to visit her in the hospital,I know that God gave us that day together. Even then she had that wonderful, jovial personality. She will make them laugh in Heaven. Much love and sympathy to you Karen. Ann Parker
