Dennis and Family ~ We are so deeply sorry to learn of the loss of Emma. We pray that God will comfort you with His Peace and carry you through this very difficult time.
From: Gerry & Diane KLAASSEN
Relation: sister in law
Emma, as a sister in law and aunt, leaves a legacy of incredible hospitality, grace and fun. Living in Osoyoos meant that relatives often showed up at her door unexpectedly. Her welcome was always warm and sincere. Take one summer in the mid 1980’s, when two nephews spent the better part of 6 weeks “camping” in her backyard. Emma made their stay one they will never forget. Always the gracious host, she also organized the boys home time and clean-up habits in gentle and not-so-gentle reminders that still brings great laughter and the fondest of memories to all who hear these stories. Emma, you’ll always be remembered for so many wonderful moments you made happen to so many of your relatives and friends. RIP. Love Gerry & Diane
