Emma was a member of Wesleyan Church in Waterloo, now known as New Beginning. She liked working in the church kitchen. Emma loved to cook and bake -- especially cinnamon rolls, homemade bread and chocolate cake. She grew her own vegetables and canned every year in addition to having beautiful flower gardens. She enjoyed flying to Colorado at Christmas time to stay with her niece Barbara and family and had many fond memories of her times with friends and family.

...
I was so sorry to hear about Emma. Seems like she lived a full life. And I am sure your family has many wonderful memories of her. At times like this the Bible comforts me so much. Jesus said in John 5:28&29 there would come a time when those in the memorial tombs would hear his voice and come out. This would also be at a time when Revelation 21:3&4 says there will be no more tears, pain or death. This would all happen when God's Kingdom comes, the same kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for in the Lord's Prayer. What a wonderful prospect for Emma and all those in the memorial tombs now. We express our deepest sympathy. We hope you find comfort in this time of loss.
To Barbara, David and the other nieces and nephews I met in my role as a neighbor and notary, I send my condolences. But, as I like to believe, as the sun is blocked by the clouds on a cloudy day, we will know and see Miss Emma again on the other side of the veil that divides us now.
Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all -- ALL -- faces.
Greetings and blessings, Rev. Marna Malone #228
