Condolences and love to the family. So sorry to just learn of Emma's passing. She helped raise me and my two younger brothers Warren and Milton and was a beloved member of our family. I have fond memories of enjoying Emma's okra and cabbage as a child. Godspeed Emma. We'll see you again on the other side.

Thank you for being apart of my family's life. You always would sit with my son and teach him everything he needed to hear or know. Thank you for that. Love you to pieces for caring for Kevin and myself (Peaches) and my brother Primes all our lives!
We'll miss you, Catherine Backman, Mary Backman-Snyder, Kevin Snyder, and William Backman, Jr.
