I am sad to say goodbye to this fun, warm, loving woman, my children’s grandmother, who loved her family above all else. My sincere sympathy to Doug and Bev and the many other family members and friends who will miss her terribly. Time with a loved one, no matter how long, is never enough. Saying goodbye is never easy. Neither is letting go.
condolences from Thailand . Emma and Edwin were friends with me ever since I was in my early 20”s . I remember playing cards with them and my parents when I was really young . I liked it when Emma was my card partner . Will really miss her
