Eileen, You have my deepest sympathy for you and your families loss. I remember Emery as a very caring man. He gave me very good education on my car one time at your house. I am glad you had some time in retirement to enjoy together. I remember seeing you and Emery walking about town with smiles on your faces. I would love to see you again sometime when you are able. My prayers are with you. Debbie Gillenwater
