No Matter where I was in my travels throughout the world, I always knew that now matter what, I could always go home, the light was always on and Mother would have a place for us.

It is very hard for me to say goodby to Mother, she was the connection point to so many others in the family. I miss calling her on the phone every week, I miss visiting her. My hope is that she is happy in a new life with Dad.

How often to people come into your lives that truly make you better people by just getting to know them?! This was Jim & Emily. Neal & I were so blessed to have gotten to know and love Jim & Emily so much. We so miss our "ice cream socials" with them on their front yard. I will miss talking with Emily about the newest book of Danielle Steele. You just have to smile knowing that Jim & Emily are together again...

John, David and Stephen,
Please extend my sympathy to your entire families. Your Mother's smile and hearty laugh is what I think of when she passes my mind. She was a true lady, we have all been blessed to have had her in our lives. I will miss her greatly.
Love and sympathy, Lisa

Ms Emily was a very special women very kind and giving! I done her nails for a few years, she always said great things about her family. Ms Emily had a very hard time after Mr Myers passing (BLESS HER SOUL) I know they are both together again its great for my heart to know that. Emily and Jim shared alot of storys with me and I enjoyed them all. I remember one day after doing her nails, Mr Myers and I finally got Ms Emily into the car, before they left she messed a nail up, he drove up into my drive way and started honking the horn until I came out to fix it. I told them two I was the only drive thru nail tech in town. (They always maded me smile!! They was so cute together!!) I really reget that after I stop doing nails I didnt keep in contact with her. I didnt get to go to her services, I really would like to send my sympathy to the whole family!!!!
MS EMILY WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS!!!
