Alex & I would like to extend our deepest condolences to Emmy’s
children Audrey, Terrance, Desmond and their families. We admired Emmy for her
loving ways, her deep faith and her deep love
for her family. May her
soul rest in Peace.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Emmy. We have known her for many years in Kenya and also Mississauga. She has always been a cheerful, friendly person and it was a pleasure to visit her at the Streetsville home and reminisce about the “good old days”. Her memory of the past, family connections and birthdays was amazing. May her soul RIP.
Our condolences to Desmond, Terrence, Audrey and the whole family.
Dear Desmond, Terance and Audrey,
Edna and I offer our deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I have known her for years, she was my classmate in Aldona and our families were very close, since we lived just round the corner from them. Emmy was always so kind, so polite and so caring for others; and I think these qualities came to the fore when she moved into the Nursing Home and did her best to look after the needs of her fellow LTC residents.
We pray that the Good Lord will grant her soul eternal rest and Peace and as May 25th comes around, I will always remember her very fondly. In deep sympathy, Edna and Al.
