A latecomer to her neighborhood, I met Em about a year ago when she brought a set of her own abundant lillies for me to plant in my new yard. I will always be grateful to her for being the neighbor everyone wishes for. She will be missed here in so many ways. Peace to her family, my prayer.
A beautiful flower in God’s bouquet of life! Her healing touch blessed so many physically and spiritually.
