Bobby and Family:
Emma was my second cousin (Her mother, Sarah, was my first cousin) I remember her more as a child since I was in Sedalia, Mo. My mother, Clara Henderson, was her great aunt. She was a beautiful child and I can see she was a beautiful woman. Just a blessing from God, for sure.
May God heal your and your children’s broken hearts.
