Happy for her

Susie and Denny Milgate    08-05-2009

While it is a wonderful thing to be home in heaven it is hard for those left behind to wait their turn. No matter what your age it's hard to lose your Mom! I remember her visiting Clinton Hill!
May God's comfort be yours at this time. The assurance that you will see her again is comforting. Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Thoughts from Afar

Joy Carl    08-07-2009

As I'm currently in South Korea and unable to be there for Grandma's funeral, I just wanted to express my love and prayes for our family and friends at this time. I am grieved, but I am so glad to know that Grandma is safely home with God and no longer in any pain.
I Thessalonians 4:13-14

Loving Thoughts

Claire Richburg (Hein)    08-19-2009

Bill and Donna,
Thank you for the sweet card. I was saddened to hear Emma had passed. I am Claire Hein's granddaughter. I had spoken to Emma a few times right after grandmother passed in 2004. Emma was so sweet to continue to send me a Christmas card every year. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of grief. Thank you for taking the time to notify us of her passing.

Memories

Absent from the body, present with the Lord!
So sorry for your loss. We have very fond memories of Emma from our Attleboro days. My Mom, Alice Stewart and Emma became good friends at the family conferences in Rhode Island. Now they are eternal friends. Thank you so much for letting us know. May God bless you family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Sorry for your loss, but she is in a much better place with the Lord and we will see her again some day. I'll always remember our days at First Baptist Church in Irvington, N.J. and when our families got together when we lived in Bethlehem, Pa. May God comfort you and your family.

Deepest Sympathy

Julie & Ken McKenzie    08-25-2009

We pray for your family during this time of loss. Emma NEVER (and I mean NEVER) missed a birthday or anniversary, of ours or of our kids, even though she never met them. We are privileged & blessed to have known Emma, & are thankful for the number of years the Lord gave her on this earth. May He be your comfort & peace during this time.

Cub Scout Leader in the early

Richard Waszak    08-28-2009

Dear Bill & Donna, Thank you for your card regarding Emma's home-going. I knew her when she was in the scout store in Caldwell, NJ and I was a scout leader in Verona, NJ. She was always pleasant & helpful. I enjoyed her annual Christmas updates and blessings. I will keep her in my thoughts and remember her fondly.

Richard Waszak, Denver, CO
