Aunt Emma, thank you for some of my fondest moments as a child visisting my relatives in Minnesota. Your wamth and patience and kindest toward me and my brothers and sisters has for many years lived on in our memories. We still talk about your wonderful cooking and that homemade bread of yours that we fought over. A stay at your house was a joy and a honor. The way you and uncle Elmer would tease each other and make us laugh was priceless. A simple vacation to Minnesota once every five or so years was the highlight of our youth. May you find joy and peace.
