We would like to thank those at Arkansas Hospice that gave such wonderful loving care to our mother, and special thanks to our cousin Rudy Cullum, and her dear friends, Liz Cochran, Pat Singer, Seju Ohoh, Ryan Alverson, Paula Redden, and Susie Johnson who gave so much love to our mother. She loved them all very much and asked that this be known.

Emma was very respected, and known by most as ?Nanny?, but also she was mother to many, at home & at school. This was her family & her life. She loved all her children, grandchildren, great-grand children with all of her heart. She will always be loved & missed by us all.
