I don't think that there has ever been a woman who could give such stability, as my sweet Aunt Emily. Years ago she was strength to me and my family, and then when our dear Joy went to be with the LORD, so often, it was Aunt Emily who gave us strength and assurance that Joy was safely home. That is what I will long remember and deeply appreciate my Aunt for. I can't tell you how often she'd speak kindness of her daughter, Jill, and the love that she knew she was surrounded in by her granddaughters and her sweet husband, R.C. Their home would be always open to those who came. We lived a whole country apart, but when we talked by phone, she never made me feel far away from her...she was a light of love. Her sisters were a treasure to her, and she always would encourage us to keep family close. We will miss her, but know that she if free now, and that she is HOME.
