Emiline, Stephanie and Melvin,

Emiline, my heart goes out to you at this time of loss. There is no other bond in our lives like the one we have with our Moms. May your memories hold you during the times you feel her loss most. Your mom was always so kind. Our paths crossed a few years ago, and she still remembered me. Love and blessings to you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Emiline and family.
Your Mom and I were members of the Flower Guild for many years and enjoyed group luncheons together. Her visits were appreciated and enjoyed. She will be greatly missed.

Emiline, my parents both loved visiting with your mom, and your dad. We still have pieces of jewelry that your dad made for us. And your mom was always so kind and welcoming. Joan, Gerry, Deb and David Tompkins wish to offer our most sincere condolences to you.
