Dear Aunt Edna and Cousins David and Jody, my deepest sympathy to you. Uncle Bill was the last one of the Devon and Gladys Emmons family surviving. Although I have'nt seen him in many years, o do have memories of good times visiting mom's youngest brother when we were young at home. With sympathy, Marjorie June (Emmons) Hubartt,s, oldest son, Michael.
