Condolence: I had the honor of not only knowing but loving this fine lady. She was able to do what I once thought was impossible and that was to return a smile to the face of the greatest man I have ever known. My granddad loved her and while they were together I had never saw him more happy. She would also greet me with a big smile and the warmest hug. She would also get us both to crying as we would always end up talking about pap after he left us. I told her many times that I loved her and I will always will. Rest easy and please enjoy heaven with my pap, you have earned it and so much more.
Condolence: I want to convey my deepest sympathies to Emogene's family. From when I was very young and the Shacklefords were our neighbors up the Hollow, I have had many memories of the times with the family. Emogene always treated me well and many evenings were spent together as I visited her home in Napier. I am grateful for the times I have shared with the entire family. May peace be with you all.
