my husband, paul, and i met gordon and mary elaine dickinson through her oldest son, john, a close friend of ours. i will always remember emme as a warm woman with an infectious smile. she was kind and welcoming to everyone. it seems like emme never sat still--she was always a flurry of activity between one project and the next. she was a delight.
i remember when john graduated from college, way back in the old century. paul and i were living in spokane, but we sneaked over to seattle and i prepared a surprise feast for him. some cousins, a few friends and his mom and dad, gordon and emme, were all in attendance. that night was so much fun, and emme made me feel so good with her quiet compliments about my cooking. she was a really good cook and baker herself, so those comments really meant something to me.
safe journey, emme, into the great beyond.
