Emily was Jordan's great-grandmother and one of my very best friends for over twenty years!
She would write letters almost weekly and send cards with money for birthdays and Christmas and call long distance on the phone and talk for hours!
We would visit and go to the buffet, hairdresser, over to Aunt Alice's and go shopping!
Emily had class and style and beauty her entire life through.She should have been a movie star!
Emily was an Angel of Mercy and had a heart of gold and strength that made a difference to our lives and will always be cherished!
We would say "LOVE YOU EMM, MISS YOU!" And she would say "LOVE YOU, MISS YOU MORE!"
Thank-you for having a profound effect on our lives.
