I remember sitting on her lap as a child and her giving me this wallet full of coins and telling me about the presidents, she was an amazing selfless person who will remain in our memories forever.

I remember when I'd go visit my Sister, she'd take me to the mall where Emma worked . Emma was ALWAYS so sweet to me. She too, would give me a little sample of perfume(the latest fragrance!!) & then would tell me how she could tell that Lois & I were sisters, that we had the same demeanor & the same laugh & that it was so obvious, but what was so funny is that, WE DIDN'T SEE IT!!, BUT EMMA DID!! I'll never forget what a sweet lady she was & I know, she's giving out little samples of her LOVE & BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT to all she meets , up there in heaven. I THANK the DEAR LORD, I got to meet 1 of his ANGELS here on earth & I can't wait to join her in heaven, when it's my time to go be at home with Jesus & EMMA. !!!
Corrine, Gina and Raul, you are in my thoughts and prayers. -Deidra Cunningham-
