To the family of Emilia (Babcia) You would be so happy to know how Emilia had a way of communicating with me without saying a word. Her eyes and smile said everything that words could not. I will never forget her smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Danene Quigley
Emilia was a wonderful lady. I loved it when she would smile. She was so cute. She will be missed dearly.
I only new Emilia for about 5 months and she stole my herat. She was sunshine everytime I would come into the room. I am so very sorry for your loss, how ever she is not suffering anymore. I dont know the names of the family that was there that night, but you are wonderful people and Emilia would be proud!!
We little knew that morning,
That God was going to call your name;
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
Babcia, you left me so many beautiful memories. I will miss you. And although I cannot see you, I know you will always be at my side. I Love You….
I was so sad to hear of Emilias passing. While we could not communicate with language, I loved her dearly! She would always give me a hug and her eyes would light up and she would smile so big whenever I brought my newphew (or other babies) in to see her.She will be greatly missed!!
