Memories and Condolences
for Emil Anderson

Not sure what to say?





Uncle Emil was good at making sure everyone was happy. I remember when I got hurt and started to cry and he started this gibberish speak and it made me forget about the pain in my knee and I started laughing. He was jus a happy guy. Mary Brandt Sayre

So saddened to hear you lost your Dad. He and my cousin Lee were the best. The last time I had the pleasure of their company was at Alice and Harold's 50th wedding anniversary. We had a lot of laughs and old memories to share. I'll always remember your dad as well as your mom, with a smile on my face and love in my heart.
