She is smiling down upon us. So happy and pain free. May God hold you close in His loving arms and comfort your heart. I love you and all of the family dear Ron.
I am so hurt to see this. Emma Lou was a special person, so outgoing. She never met a stranger. She will be missed by all, especially her facebook friends. May God help her loved ones during this sad time. Prayers
Ron:
I am so so sorry for the loss of Emma Lou. I met you both years ago when my Dad’s cousins Eulyss and Nellie Sellars bought a home on Old Mill Springs RD in Nancy close to our home. I grew pretty close to Emma Lou over the years. We always texted and stuff on Facebook. I will sure miss her so much. She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. The loss of Emma will leave a huge void in all our lives, but all the memories everyone has will forever be cherished. Ron, may our Lord be with each of your family and give you peace, comfort, and strength now and in the many days ahead.
With much love and deepest sympathy:
Jo Ann Burton and Family
