Emily was a favorite of mine. She loved the monthly entertainment and danced up a storm once!! I loved doing her nails and when we played Bingo she was always the first one to the table! You will be missed Emily! Cid McMurtrey, Activity Director, Tinley Court Retirement Community

Dear family, I extend my deepest condolences. Death is truly a sting but soon God promises that death will one day be brought to nothing -

Marc and I never meant Emily, but heard much about her from Becky. Our thoughts and prayers are with Diane, Tony, Becky, Lauren, Vince and their families.
