Dear Uncle Wayne, Jim and Pam....our hearts are broken at the news of Aunt Emmy's passing.

Family gatherings were always brighter when Aunt Emmy was in the room. She will be deeply missed.
Emmy is a great friend….not only to me, but in particular to all the Volunteers of the Victoria Palms Computer Club in Donna, TX. I was fortunate to work beside Emmy many mornings.
