Her love for her husband, James, was a bond that could not be broken. They shared 56 years of love and cherished all the good memories together. Emma had passion about her kids and grandkids she didn’t play when it came to them. The love, she showed everyone was joyful to see. He could brighten up a room when she walked in.
