I was 3 when Uncle Emory married my Aunt Mary. I remember their wedding and was so happy there was cake! I couldn't say Emory and called him Uncle Hemry till I was at least 6 or 7. He always greeted us children with a big smile and he and Aunt Mary would do anything they could to be sure kids had a good time. Their generosity and kindness has lived with me through all the years of my life. My heart felt condolences to all.

When I think back to our Childhood years, they were happy and fun filled. And, a huge part of that was because we were so blessed to have Aunt Mary and Uncle Emery as positive influences in our lives...They were the most wonderful, loving, kind, sweet, generous and fun loving people......They always treated us as though we were the most important kids on the planet...When we moved away, I couldn't wait for summers so we could visit them....And, I always begged to stay with them because we had so much fun together...Even though they had children of their own, my wonderful cousins, they always dropped what they were doing and treated my Sister and I to the very best of times...They always made "time" for us.. And, that has continued forward until this day....My sister and I have often reflected on the fact that we leaned how to be good "Aunts" to our nieces and nephews because of the great generosity and kindness of our Aunt and Uncle Emery.....We will always cherish our sweet memories of you, my wonderful Uncle...Thank you for the greatest childhood a girl could wish to experience....We love you so much and will greatly miss you....Your "Pam-a-Girl...Pam Grammar....
