Dear Family and Friends,
I’m sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Acts 24:15 and it reads, “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”

Daphne,
You and Cliff are in our thoughts each day and have been for the last few weeks. We know too well your exhaustion and loss. Although we never met your mom, we certainly know her daughter so we know she must have been quite the character, always concerned about others and very careful of the details 🙂 . Sweet memories and rest will comfort you. Take care of yourself as you mourn for your mom. Don’t hesitate to call if you need anything.
Sincerely,
Leslie and Cory

Dear Daphne and family, We were so sorry to hear about Mrs. Emma – Aunt Vera loved her and I am so glad that I took her to see her this summer. I wanted to take her back but we did not get to go. She was so good to call Aunt Vera and they had such good memories and times -We are praying for you all at this time – thank you for letting Aunt vera know
She was a beautiful woman inside and out!
Daphne, Cliff, and family,
Emma was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known and was such a dear friend to my mother. I will miss our sweet visits together. David and I send our love and prayers.
Daphne, Cliff, and family, David and I send our love and prayers your way. Emma was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known and was a dear friend to my mother. I will miss our sweet visits. I hope you will find that special person to help you through the loss of your mother the way Emma helped me. What a blessing she has been to me!
Daphne, Don, Jean, Sandra, Carolyn, and all, I remember “Emma Elizabeth” so fondly. She was always one of the sweetest, kindest people I knew and always had a smile that
would light up the room. We attended the same church (Fayetteville ARP) in our youth
and my memories of her are of a beautiful
lady that I always looked up to. My love and
sympathy to all. God bless.
