Condolences

This world has lost an amazing individual. Emm will greatly be missed by myself and my three children. Upon entering my sons' room the other night, I paused to see that my oldest, Harrison, Emm's grandson, had placed a picture of Grandpa on top of his dresser...with my tears came a feeling of joy that I had the chance to know him. Our prayers are with you, Marie and family.
