So sorry to hear of Emma’s passing. Remember her well as my Girl Guide leader and my days at the Temple. She was a very sweet and kind lady. When I graduated from the Grace I remember Emma coming over to congratulate me when we were waiting for our graduation parade. Condolences to her sister Ada, who taught me in Grade 6 and the rest of the family.

We were saddened to hear of Emma’s passing. We knew Emma from St Patricks. Emma and my mother would sit together sharing their beautiful voices while acknowledging their love and appreciation for music. Emma was a darling and we enjoyed her quick humor and pleasantness. She will be missed..

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Emma’s passing. I knew her all my life while growing up in the Temple Corps. She was quite active with many Young People’s activities and we both sang in the Songsters’ I met her again at St. Pat’s home and she still had that sense of humor. My sincere condolences and prayers are with Ada and other family members. May God the Holy Spirit comfort your heart for we know that she is with the Lord and her family whom she love.
I was so sorry to hear about Ada’s passing. She was a lovely person. She was my Girl Guider Leader, Sunday School Teacher, and did a lot of work with the young people at The Temple. May her soul rest in peace as she joins her parents and those who have gone before.
RIP Emma

Sincere condolences on the death of Emma. I knew her when she worked as a librarian at MUN and as a resource person for all matters pertaining to the Salvation Army. She was a very helpful individual and reminisced fondly about her visit of the German Heilsarmee (Salvation Army). Rest in peace, Emma!
Sincere sympathy to Emma’s family and in particular to Ed with whom I worked. I knew Emma as a lace-maker. She regularly attended get-togethers at my home and at other people’s homes, and travelled with me to Carbonear for lace-making lessons. She was tenacious in her pursuit of lace-making. I also knew her through the dog show world, where she was equally committed. She was a pleasure to be around. Condolences.

My condolences to Emma’s family on her passing. I remember from my days at Memorial University, and we were both Guide leaders. In later years we would meet in the supermarket and I’d learn what was new with her dogs.
She was a beautiful person.
My condolences to Emma’s family on her passing. I remember Emma well from her years of showing her Shelties. She so loved her dogs and always had a cheerful smile. We spent many hours together training our dogs for the obedience ring. Emma was a lovely lady. May she rest in peace.
I have many fond memories of Emma from my days at Memorial University Libraries, and afterwards. My best thoughts and condolences to her family, friends and former colleagues.
Please accept my thoughts and prayers as you go through the next few months of grieving Emma’s promotion to glory. I knew Emma from the Temple, as a Girl Guide leader and as a librarian.
To Emma’s family
Please accept my sincere condolences. I knew Emma through St. Patrick’s Mercy Home where my mom resides. We loved sitting with Emma in the mornings for a glass of milk and a few cookies. She would often oblige in singing a favourite hymn. She had a beautiful voice and she brought those hymns to life. May she Rest In Peace.
