Happy Heavenly birthday Mary Emily. I still miss our weekly visits and chats. Maybe you and Mom play Rook in Heaven.

It's hard to believe you've been gone for seven years. Still miss your sweet smile and our weekly visits.

Happy birthday in Heaven Mary Emily. Still miss our visits.

I still miss my sweet friend, Miss Mary, and our weekly visits. I hope you and Mom are playing Rook in Heaven.

Miss Mary is missed every day. I miss our visits and her sweet smile. I hope you and Mom are playing Rook in Heaven. Love and miss you!

Miss Mary was my mother's friend when they were both at the Veranda. I continued to visit her after my mother passed, and then when she went to the Nursing Home. Every week I would stop in for our visit. Even on those days when she wasn't feeling up to par, she was always happy to see me. I miss our visits, and think of her often. I hope Mom and Miss Mary are playing Rook together in Heaven.

Aunt Mary Emily will be in my heart forever. Uncle Richard and she came to Delaware (no, I am still a Southerner to the bone) for my wedding (38 years ago), to visit my Dad shortly after my Mom's funeral (32 years ago), and to my daughter Kelly's church Confirmation (almost 21 years ago).  Although I may not have had daily access to her or Uncle Richard, they were (and will be) always with me. Family is everything! 

My husband is a fan of Grape NeHigh soda, which cannot be found in the North. After a visit to Alabama to visit Aunt Mary Emily and Uncle Richard, the following Christmas, a box arrived addressed to my husband from them. When he opened it, there were 24 cans of Grape NeHigh. That is the type of wonderful people they were to me and my family!

My prayers are with all of the family.

Just read of your mothers passing. So sorry for your loss. Will be thinking and praying for you and your family.

I am grateful for Mary Emily's friendship for the last six years. I will miss our weekly visits and her sweet smile and kind nature. She was a good friend to my mother at the Veranda, and a blessing to me after my mother passed. I love you Mary Emily and I hope you and Mom are rook partners in Heaven.

My boys miss going to her house on Saturday mornings and eating waffles with her and grandaddy I really miss sitting in the den with both of them watching Monday Night Football and cracking and shelling pecans and so many more memories and life lessons

I always remember Aunt Mary Emily with a smile on her face. She always made sure we four kids went to Vacation Bible School each year. Thankfully I was able to interview her years ago when I was in college for a project. She blessed so many people!
