Janet, Our sympathy to you and your family at this time.I know thru the passing of my dad you are never ready to lose a parent no matter what your age is. Know that you have a angel looking after you. Take care. The Gordon’s
I remember this gracious lady as my patient for many years before I retired in 1999. May she rest in Peace.
Em gave me hair cuts as a child that didn’t excite me much, but I loved her anyway and so did my mother Faye. She will be missed.
Our Deepest Sympathies to the
Wipperfurth Family.
To All of You, especially George.
My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers.
There are so many memories of the old neighborhood that include “Emmer”. It would be too long to share, so here are just a few.
I remember her laugh the most and her great sense of humor. The first joke she told me was in the first person and I believed the punch line had really happened to her! I felt so bad for her, but when I found out it was a joke, it gave me insight into why my mom likes to tell me “untrue” stuff. I am so gullible.
She also was the first and only person to wax my eyebrows. I never had anyone else do it because she taught me so well. However, I have never used wax like she did! Too chicken.
I will always be grateful that she touched my life.
To Emmer!
Fondly,
Cathy
Dear George, Janet, Pat, Kathie and family Although no words of sympathy can ease your loss, may you find some comfort in the love and affection so many of us had of Em. She was a very special part of my life which I shall always fondly remember they don’t make neighborhoods like that anymore!!!!!!. May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us…… With loving thoughts always! Ralph

Dear George,
Just want you to know that you and your family are in our prayers and may God comfort you at this time.
Dear George, Janet, Pat, Kathy and families.
Being neighbors for 33 years you have been more like family. Our kids grew up together and we had many good times. All our card playing, and most of all Em’s Enchladas, no one could do better. We have so many memories,Frank and Em with the water hose fight, she could not stand the site of blood so I had a job once in a while.She will be greatly missed by one and all.
Our Love and Prayers are with you all , and we are here if you need us.
Love you Frank, Mert and Family.
