    Dear Nancy, So sorry for your loss. Such sweet memories from my childhood at Woodville of your mother and father, both true witnesses to the love of Christ. Always a smile, always kindness and a gentle spirit about them both. What a difference they made in so many lives. Looking forward to seeing them both again someday.

    We remember Emma Lee as a beautiful older lady with a perfect hair style and warm, friendly manner. She shared her porch for Festival Parade watchers, her time with friends, and her heart with her beloved children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was tremendously loved, and will be tremendously missed. Love to Nancy and Don. Linda and John Gass
